Maybe it's me, but I'm kinda more concerned about whether I end up being a car sandwich in a crash.

Let’s have a Honda Jazz collide with a Ford F-150 and see which vehicle does better. Then we’ll decide if smaller cars deserve the “Top Marks”.

I want to know what conditions and qualifications were altered for the tests, because I don’t believe it.

The fifth car to earn top safety marks was the Audi Q5, a compact crossover nearly the size of an S.U.V. Whoever wrote this article obviously doen't know sheit from shinola when it comes to vehicles (as evidenced by the above quote), so I would totally discount everything else in this article.

It said the Honda Jazz and Hyundai i20 racked up “impressive pedestrian scores”Does that mean that if you crash into a pedestrial, you are less likely to injure them?

Next they’ll be telling us that the mini-cars have a better ride than a Mercedes, handle better than a Ferrari, and have more acceleration than a Porsche!

Me too. When being tailgated by an SUV, I want to be in a 1 ton truck.

What a crock of crap. A portion of the test was how a pedestrian hit by the car would fair. Frankly, I don’t give a rip about the pedestrian. I want to protect me and my family. The two that did the best in “pedestrian” scores performed lower in “Adult” and “Child” scores...

Maybe it's me, but I'm kinda more concerned about whether I end up being a car sandwich in a crash.For others, it's all about getting there and enjoying the ride. If I gave more than a rat's keester about crashworthiness, I wouldn't own a motorcycle.

Goebbels would be so proud of our media and how they’re getting themselves properly warmed up for the hardcore propaganda they’ll be spewing soon in support of socialized medicine. They don’t want to pull a muscle at the wrong time.
