Well....i hope Aussie saab drivers don't!!
I am yet to see a 900 with a bull bar (roo bar) in Australia, it would absolutely spoil the lines of any 900. Besides the purpose of roo/bull bars is to prevent terminal damage to your car. If you hit a kangaroo or emu (in Australia) you still damage your car...grill, headlights, bumper and so on, the roo bar simply helps protect criticals such as radiators and headlights, allowing you to drive home.
If you hit a bull in anything but a prime mover, then it is basically game over for the car and unfortunately often for the driver as well.....
Likewise hit a pedestrian with a bull/roo bar it is also bad news, as modern cars ie saabs, are designed to bounce the pedestrian over the bonnet, where as bull bar force them under the car.
Just my 2c worth
