I know its about cages, but I found this quite interesting. The bloody Nissan Infinity QX has a 300% chance of shitting itself.

A mitsubishi lancer, i never would have thought one of those would be unsafe. Amazing that they have been building cars for so many years, and yet, they still can't make them decently.

They can make them decent but they are made to a price. Who'd pay $120,000 for a lancer over a Lexus?

Is there any Rovers on the list?

I don't think that the vehicle is unsafe as such, just that you wouldn't want to have a side impact in one. Even a Mack truck won't do you much good in a side impact from say a train.

Perhaps if you don't intend having an accident the whole rating thing is a bit irrelevant.

Who plans an accident? They become very relevant when some moron overtakes in front of you and you have to pick a deep drain or a headon crash.

Side impact is a faily recent test and not all cars comply,so they can make any care ''look unsafe'' very easily.I like the Nissan Infinity QX being 300% more unreliable than any other car,looks bad for Nissan - until you see it's Made In America!

They tested a hummer once...

but they have no results yet..

It went through the brick wall out the building wall and kept going.

Same with the rolls royces and bentleys (yes i know thats spelt wrong).
