Yeah, my 2007 doesn't have seat airbags. They're in the doors. As far as safety is concerned, these modern glass fiber reinforced polymer shells are tested to take a 24 g crash impact and have FIA approval all while weighing around 17 lbs (Recaro Pole Position). If my passenger and I were to be subjected to an accident, I'd prefer to be sitting in a seat that's designed for competitive racing.
