FYI - IIHS new side impact crash tests - no Saabs yet

Just noticed that the Insurance Institute for Hwy. Safety has developed new side impact crash tests - first vehicles tested are 12 small suv's (see http://www.highwaysafety.org for further info). Using a higher deformable barrier (e.g., hit by a SUV or pick-up rather than a car) and a smaller dummy (equivalent to a small female or 12 year old child in driver and driver side rear seats) IIHS gets substantially different results than NHTSA. One (I think it was the Toyota RAV 4) received 5 stars from NHTSA and a poor from IIHS. And side airbags made the difference between good and poor in vehicles tested with and without. I'm waiting to find out if the 2004 9-5 will have side curtain airbags like the new 9-3's. If so, based on what I've read, I'll wait for the new models.
