In case you are interested:
The Swedish insurance company Folksam has studied more than 76,000 real car crashes, and found SAAB 9-5 to be the safest car of all. "If everybody replaced their cars with 9-5s, the number of people injured or killed would immediately be reduced with 40%", the vice research manager states to one of the national newspapers.

As I intend to keep my brick, I scrolled down to see how the 200 series scored. It was found to be at least 15% safer than the average car, a position it shares with Audi A6 (1995-97), BMW 5 (1996-03) and Mercedes 200/300 (1886-95) to name a few. Nothing is mentioned about airbags, but as we know this was fitted to a minority of the 200 series.
