That is only the hatch model. The sedan did better.

FYI, linking from the results doesn't work. Everyone will have to search from the query page I posted.

ZX5's rule.

coupled with a few extra airbags, hell, I'm driving a 2600lb brick of crash-deployed pillowy goodness.

I watched the news again. The word used to describe the Neon was "disasterous".
:rofl:

It's getting to the point I stay on the floor I've been :rofl: so much lately. I love this place!

Probably not. Too small a sample size for there testing. Of all "compacts", body styles and varients out there they only did 15 cars. For example no Subarus of any kind were tested, though they generally do well. (I talk about testing more in the other post )

On the news they showed the Neon or Toyota after pic. The "B" pillar seperated from the floor!" That aint good. It was such a mess I couldn't tell if it was a Neon or Toyota.

I personally am not looking forward to the side bags deploying. The thought of an airbag using the side of my head to slow the implosion doesn't sound like a great time.
