The Saab 900 is based on the platform of the German Opel Vectra. This model did not do too well in crash tests in Germany either. The structure was a little too weak, and in the offset crash, the profile under the door (not sure what you call this) bent/crumpled, shortening the passenger safety zone.
My brother has a such Opel Vectra, and I have driven it a couple of times when visiting. It feels quite simlar to the Saab in many ways. However, the Saab is quieter and feels a little better built, wich in turn makes me feel safer in it.
