The Saabs were tested under Euro NCAP, though. I don't see any ratings for the Vauxhall VXR on their site. The Holden Commodore was tested under Australia's ANCAP and did decently:

It was mid-pack. Nothing spectacular. I'm not sure what the IIHS holdup is for the G8. Perhaps their members don't have enough of them insured to rate?
