Nov 18, 2009: The
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) (NOTE: IIHS is a non-profit organization funded by auto insurers) listed their
Top Safety Picks 2010
From their site "To determine crashworthiness — how well a vehicle protects its occupants in a crash — the Institute rates vehicles good, acceptable, marginal, or poor based on performance in high-speed front and side crash tests, a rollover test, plus evaluations of seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear impacts. To earn Top Safety Pick for 2010 a vehicle must have good ratings in all four Institute tests. In addition,
the winning vehicles must offer electronic stability control."
