I think someone forgot to look over the fine print of the test.

When the IIHS came out with their results, the media had been stating it was a side impact using something similar to an SUV!

Laws of physics is one thing. Then we have an older design (platform from 1999) that is going up against some great new designs.

I'm sure people will take note of the results and companies' sales will be impacted. However, it could indirectly feed into everyone's desire to want an SUV for "safety" and start the vicious cycle of another SUV craze :rolleyes:
