Remember, this is a Federal standard/rule. As such, it doesn't have to make sense or even be relevant to what it's trying to control (LOL).
I guess my point in this was not so much the technicalities involved as much as the philosophy being expressed by GM in doing this. I think that even a longer wheelbase SUV is more likely to roll than a sedan, and to imply that it isn't, for the sake of trying to sell more cars, is dishonest, IMHO. I have a hard time believing that SAAB's traditional emphasis on safety will be able to survive such an emphasis of marketing over safety, long term.
