...about.
There are tons of 5-door models available in Europe (and the rest of the world), just not from Saab. Presumably there are rear-end collisions in Europe too? Heck, Mazda sells a 5-door hatchback here in the States!
I hate it when dealers invent answers. To me, it's likely that the hatch is difficult to prevent from squeaking. Assembly costs might be higher too. But mostly, it's our beloved GM incompetence at work. They really don't have a clue.
Just my opinion. But safety reasons? I highly highly doubt it.
