Chinese 4x4 Scores 0 On Crash Safety Test


Recommended Posts

1st - look again at the video.... look at the dummy's neck... if it was a person... his/her neck would've been borken on the spot... the neck makes more than a 90 degree turn while the torso turn in the other direction... he's dead!

2nd - About your comment on the U.S. automobile industry.. I totally agree with you. American built car are ulgy, cheap but I don't know about the safety though... I bet it's pretty good... but damn US cars looks like total crap. I also drive a japanese car... very happy about my Acura RSX :)

This SUV should'nt even be allowed on the road.. it's a disgrace but it will sell because of the price no doubt..

American cars are ugly and cheap? Wow must have never driven a Nissan or Kia... This isn't the 80's anymore Ford and GM make some of the safest cars on the road and the interiors and reliability which are easily on par or surpass what is coming out from Toyonda (honestly who uses a timing belt this day in age other than Toyonda). Just because the bought Consumer Reports says something without actually testing the cars doesn't mean that's right.. Drive the cars before you knock em not everyone wants to drive a gutless sheepmobile.. Sorry to on a rant but it's clueless people that are killing the last bit of the American manufacturing base

It got retested. And it passed this time. I think that first time was the first crash test for that car. It's amazing to me that the could correct the problem at least somewhat so quickly. More improvement is in order though for this SUV.

The amount of damage done to the SUV is still catastrophic. :pinch:
