Oh, and by the way, its not 2010 anymore.......

Lets see how the 2012 and 2013 models of these same vehicles are doing in rollover tests.

You are right its not 2010 anymore, but as you mentioned its much more impressive when a company gets it right the first time on the surprise test, not their second time several years later in 2012 or 2013. So it looks you admire what company from the rollover test?

Clearly I admire a company that learned their lesson from last surprise tests and were prepared for future tests.

Don't worry about your beloved GM though......."The Chevrolet Malibu -- earned the second-worst possible rating, "Marginal."

But its ok, GM has 3 years to get it right. Not only does it suck at the latest crash testing, but when they do redesign it, they'll build a competent sedan and it won't finish DEAD LAST again in a C/D comparo against the aged LAST GEN Accord.

Safety is going backwards.

The one thing that needs improving is the nut behind the wheel. Every latest safety gadget or aid just makes the average driver even more dangerous.

Improving driver training and testing would do more help than any anti yaw while sipping my latte override button could achieve.

I wont bother mentioning how bad the 2012 civic sucked again.

We get it, you like Honda no matter what, so go buy one instead if your Ford and BMW, or go work for Honda as a design engineer, and dont get so upset.

Im not worried about anything, Not sure why someone would keep starting new threads about Honda unless........

Im also not sure why Murf needs to follow me to every thread but hey, even Sunny has his fanboys.

Is the Sesame Street website down again?

Maybe you are worried about something?
 
I cant like cars?

Or perhaps just to add some logic to your posts.......you know, like an SUV has a high center of gravity which creates rollover issues.

Did I hurt your feelings somehow? Seriously, why not buy a Honda if you are so fond of them?
