ANTAUS Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 "A" Pillar didn't move a bit, although the engine compartment absorbed more than i thought it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrewfanGRB Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 This is just sort of a random observation, but watching these YouTube videos of the IIHS tests should be all anyone needs when they start blathering on about overkill with safety features that make cars heavier, more complex, etc. What a well engineered car with a high level of safety features can do to overcome the insane forces imparted on the vehicle to keep the occupants safe is nothing short of amazing, in my view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Harbinger Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Moderate Overlap is old, Small Overlap is new. I take it Moderate Overlap what they used to call Frontal Offset? (If I recall correctly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
