What do we score out of a 5? anything lower then a 6 is just not as safe as it could be

No good. Look at all the damage- it would be a write off.

They need to make it more like the cars from the 60's where an impact like that would result in a small scuff on the bumper. Then you could wave your collision on your insurance and increase your deductible to $1k ;)

If you look close you'll also notice the airbag did shit, the way the dummy's head hit the steering wheel, unless its collapsible he'd have a broken neck...Anyone check to see how our 3's fair in a rear collision?

That looks pretty good to me. Looks waaaaay better than a lot of other cars.

Check this one out:

Definitely wouldn't want to be a driver or passenger in that.
