Well, obviously a look @ NHTSA, IIHS, and Informed for Life was not included in the selection process.
There are some scores there on various impact protection performances that are fully inexcusable given the products - and brands, their voluminous safety BS spin, and prices involved although they did manage to miss many of the biggest disappointments all in all.
And yet, a fair amount of more pedestrian product can provide a much better impact protection profile.
On that note, Accord Coupe can be in the 10 Best, but not the 4dr.
Odyssey ( since recalls and those kinds of things are not considered either ) should definitely knock something off the list - or is that considered in a different category ?
In an MV no less, which can be one of the more difficult ones to get really good.
Besides the other four to five BMW fails BMW basically across the line, this is also another type.
Audi and MB screw up even worse in many instances.
As expected, you can forget about Toyota, Scion, and Lexus.
If you really value this sort of thing, then Chrysler 200 knocks another one off as well.
And yep, Dart.
And Malibu.
And Genesis 4Dr.
Oh and uh any and all 1500 Sierra and Siverado who have essentially established a new and super good PU bench mark.
And maybe just maybe...... ATS who has a fine start as does CTS, but unfortunately does not have a quite completed profile .
