Well.. no.

tloekke said:^But that's Jeremy's point. Untill all suvs have the bumper bar, you'd want to be in one of those.
Who is this aimed at? Because this bitVolvo_S70 said:U guys have no idea of what u're saying..
agrees with what Leppy and I have been saying. A crash barrier test is a perfect example of how SUV's with less effective crush zones cause more harm to their occupants.Volvo_S70 continued and said:The Prius was under the same test as the Range Rover at EuroNcap...AND THE PRIUS BEHAVE BETTER IN THE CRASH THAN THE RR. The RR its not safer just cuz its bigger (where the heck did u hear that??) ..it all depends on how the car absorbs the energy and many other things. EuroNcap arent stupid, the dummies in the Prius werent as harmed as in the RR, close case.

Jasruler said:Go read up on the controversy surrounding ENCAP's testing procedures.
Basically, what a lot of car companies have been doing is designing thier cars specifically to perform well in the ENCAPS -- this however does not equate to real-world safety. It simply equates to laboratory results which suggest safety. These are two radically different concepts.
Thats why there are so many five-star rated cars now. The companies are playing the system, so to speak. Why do they do this? To sell cars.
On a side note, if you've ever trying to convince someone that your opinion is correct, try using proper English.
