Quote:Here's a list of 2007's least-safe new cars, according to insurance industry data:

Ford Focus
Mazda3
Saturn Ion
Suzuki Aerio
Suzuki Forenza
Toyota Corolla
Chevrolet Cobalt

Quote:...Also on the roster: Chevrolet's Cobalt four-door, which does better with side airbags, but without them gets some "poor" crash-test ratings; Ford Motor's (F, news, msgs) snappy Focus four-door and Mazda's Mazda3 four-door, for which there are no IIHS crash-test ratings with side airbags; Saturn's Ion four-door, which has poor ratings with or without optional side airbags; and Suzuki Motor's Aerio and Forenza four-doors, which have standard airbags but still get poor side crash-test scores...

Well... side impact ratings need to be improved by a lot more mfr's than just that list. Corporately, all I see if Ford and General Motors, where's Daimler? Maybe their German background is keeping them going? :P
