Looks like this SUV lost the battle...

against the 9-3 SS...



I guess GM's epsilon platform realy lives up to the 5 star crash test rating!

If thats a Blazer then I'm not surprised

whoa..talk about david and goliath

What am I supposed ot be looking at in this tiny photo? I don't see the driver's side of the SAAB OR the front at all... who says it came out unscathed? It's looks like it was an offset frontal collision so rotate the perspective 180* and it may look like the Blazer is mostly intact and the driver's side of the SAAB could be crushed like a coke can. This is proof of nothing. Although the Balzer's driver probably did not do very well in that impact.

The Blazer's passenger compartment shows a lot of deformation, but the Blazer doesn't have the worst crash test ratings. A pic from IIHS:

The picture is small, but the Saab's roof does appear that it stayed intact. If the view was from behind the Blazer, the deformed roof would still be clearly visable.

The Blazer was far from a crash test star. I liked my mom's 2000, though.

This is no surprise... the Blazer is a shitty BOF death trap. I hope they all rot in junkyards or are crushed. That's all they deserve for what they have put my family through... F**king POS's. :angry: Edited December 31, 2005 by blackviper8891

Wha...?

Everyone knows the last generation of Blazer was unsafe, both in actual tests in general characteristic.

Agreed. Roof buckle anywhere near like the Blazer's would be visible even from this angle on the SAAB. That roof buckle can only mean one thing... the space for the driver has been made dangerously small.
