When I was growing up, my dad wanted to buy one of these for a family hauler.

He went on and on about the safety features but the car was too expensive for us.

What am I?

Yes sir, you are correct!

From what I remember, supposedly the front windshield design was made in a way and pushed forward so that someone can't hit the windshield when in an accident.

That's one of the safety features they pitched to my dad, no idea if it's really true.

if you haven't already i MUST insist you watch the tribute that top gear did for saab back in 2012

i never really paid that much attention to saab throughout my life but after watching that 15 min segment i was genuinely sad to see them go... the difference in build quality vs the BMW they show was genuinely unexpected

also for whatever reason those videos start muted lol but the volume works once you turn it back on at the bottom left of the video player window

I guess nobody got this one.
The seats look like Chrysler to me but just taking a wild guess.

Yep. Notice the unusual rotating-disc speedometer and the transmission push-buttons in the steering-hub.
