[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1003744, member: 52972"] Realize that these are Insurance Industry Group sponsored crash testing...so there is an agenda behind all their tests, and it's not safety. Their agenda appears to be to raise insurance rates for any vehicle that does not meet their discretionary standards. NHTSA and the auto makers also do crash testing and ratings, but the Insurance Industry Group often does not agree with NHTSA or the Auto Makers results. This is the same reason why Insurance companies charge you more for Insurance if you have any speeding tickets, when a 3 year NHTSA study showed that only 5% of all traffic accidents were caused by excessive speed. The main cause of accidents in the US is driver distractions, like Texting, Cellphones, changing the radio station or looking at their GPS systems. If the Insurance Industry Group was really trying to promote safety, they would charge more for people who had cellphones, radios and GPS units in their vehicles. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
