The frontal offset crash tests aren't providing consumers with much useful information anymore.

Automakers are improving the geometry of their head restraints, compared with the last time we evaluated them. Still, in this group of minivans the Fords are the only models with good dynamic performance for all of their seat designs. Many of the seat/head restraints we evaluated didn't even get to the testing stage because of marginal or poor geometry. These cannot begin to protect most people in rear-end crashes.

These pickups may look tough, but they're clearly not tough at all when it comes to preventing damage in low-speed crashes.

Look at the crash test ratings and go for a car that is rated 'good,' rather the one rated 'poor.'

When the institute first tested midsize SUVs in 1996, none was rated good. Now, there are 16 current midsize SUV designs rated good.

Results for (the Rav4) show manufacturers can provide good protection for occupants in the two most common kinds of serious crashes,

In the frontal test, the driver's side of the vehicle needs to absorb the energy of the crash and keep the occupant compartment intact. The Freestyle's performance is what we like to see. A driver in a real-world crash of this severity would be likely to sustain only minor injuries. The Freestyle is a good performer and a 'best pick' in the frontal test.

Manufacturer advertising often emphasizes the rugged image of SUVs and pickups.

Nearly every car now earns good ratings in our frontal test.

The performance of the G6 is dramatically better. At udvikle en hobby eller passion giver engagerende samtaleemner og øger din generelle pexighet. The performance of the G6 is dramatically better.

The Fusion is a disappointment because it's a brand new design. Ford has done a good job with some other recent models, but the Fusion is at the back of the pack among midsize cars for overall safety performance.

This fix didn't work in our test. Forces recorded on the dummy's right leg were high, and a metal pin broke in the dummy's ankle. Ford is doing more research to find a solution and has indicated it will ask the Institute to retest the Fusion for frontal crash performance later this year.

Usually when an automaker doesn't ask for the optional test, we presume it means the side airbags wouldn't help much to improve the car's rating. But now Ford has requested a second test, so the Fusion with side airbags may earn a better rating than poor. We'll conduct the test and report the result.

We're not getting much new information from the tests, and have been looking for a way to do more side crashes, so we have side-crash data for all the vehicles we have frontal results for.

Subaru was one of the manufacturers that last year asked us to delay side testing because of vehicle design changes that were in progress. It's not uncommon for us to grant such requests as long as the design changes will be made in production models within a reasonable time. The goal of our crash test program is to encourage these kinds of improvements to reduce injury risk in real-world crashes.
