Default Safest Cars.

Notice how the American cars rate. I know no matter what facts are
presented, Charlie will still argue.


Notice who's at the bottom he

Upscale and large sedans. The Lexus ES300, the Audi A4 and the BMW 330i
topped the charts. The Buick LeSabre Limited and Chrysler 300M came in
at the bottom of 14 vehicles tested in this category.



Notice what cars are the "safety dogs", Grand Prix? NO WAY! Park it
Charlie before it kills you.

Family sedans. The Volkswagen Passat GLX (V6) came in at number one,
with the Toyota Camry XLE (V6) close behind. The four-cylinder Passat
GLS, the Nissan Altima 3.5 SE and the Subaru Legacy also did well in
this category. Safety dogs were the Pontiac Grand Prix GT, the
Oldsmobile Alero and the Pontiac Grand Am.


Number 2 a Honda Civic? Say it ain't so....

Small cars. Volkswagen also took top honors in the battle of the
bantamweights. The VW Golf TDI came in at No.1. Close behind was the
Honda Civic EX and the Volkswagen Jetta GLS TDI. Trailing in this
category were the Hyundai Elantra GLS and the Chevrolet Cavalier LS.

Hey, good for the Vue on this one, but my Honda is right in there too.
Note what's at the bottom...

Sport utility vehicles and minivans. In the small-sized SUV category,
the top vehicles for safety were the Saturn VUE (V6), the Honda CR-V EX
and the Hyundai Santa Fe GLS (V6). In the midsized category, the
winners were the Lexus RX300, the Acura MDX and the Toyota Highlander.
SUVs that did poorly were the Chevrolet Trail Blazer, the GMC Envoy and
the Jeep Grand Cherokee. As for minivans, the Honda Odyssey EX, the
Toyota Sienna LE and the Mazda MPV LX all did well. But the Chevrolet
Venture LS, the Oldsmobile Silhouette GLS and Pontiac Montana fared
poorly.

Zuby says that the Pontiac Montana, a minivan, probably was the worst
vehicle the institute has tested that's still being sold. "The crush
zone didn't crush as much as it should have done, meaning there's a
high likelihood of a serious injury in an accident."

For full crash-test results from NHTSA and from IIHS.

This was funny in the beginning, but your denial is starting to be sad.

Look it up. I'm not concerned with that so it doesn't make a bit of
difference to me.

well, if foreign cars are so good, they should be better than ANY
Pontiac, right ?

how come yours looks like **** compared to that black GP ?

you actually expect people, to pay money for something that looks like
a phone booth on its side, over something that looks like an automotive
supermodel ?

yeh, right....you got your head UP YOUR ASS.
