That was one of the articles I was referring to. I think there is another...
but even out of a standard press release from 2005:
"Saab Real-life Safety involves the use of computer simulations and crash tests designed to replicate what happens in real collisions on real roads, based on the findings of a database covering more than 6,100 real-life crashes involving Saab cars on Swedish roads.
During the Saab 9-3 product development program, the 9-3 Sport Sedan's structural design and occupant protection systems were evaluated in consumer and legally required crash tests as well as a large number of in-house configurations taking occupants of different sizes into consideration. Prototype tests were carried out in the laboratory and outdoors in a range of speeds and configurations."
Saab (and Volvo also) work on a different philosophy than many other companies: it is ingrained in every aspect of the design. I believe the philosophical difference is what makes them better than other manufacturers in this regard (much like for years Toyota + Honda were outstanding in their work on reliability + lean manufacturing).
