    New luxury cars failing crash tests



    pretty interesting, esp. since so many well known manufacturers are failing with only a few getting marginal scores.

    Funny how MB claims that their cars are just fine and that there's issues with the way the crashes are being conducted. typical

    Kudos to Toyota for accepting the challenging and dealing with it accordingly

    There's issues with the crash testing. They're getting out of hand.

      Crash should be: if the driver can maneuver the vehicle into the wall, it's a pass.
      Different strokes for different folks.

          This. The cars aren't the problem. It's the operators.

              This is what you get when a driving test is 3 minutes long and a 40 questions test.

                  Correct thread title should be "New luxury cars failing new crash tests."
