(this is the best I could find of a GMT400)

And my actual year of Crown Victoria.

I was looking for a C/K crash test earlier today, but the closest I got was this:

Pretty sure they’re testing the guardrail more than they’re testing the truck.

Mazda B-Series/Ford Ranger. Mine is a bit older (1994), but the only big difference is the air bags.

Not a WRX, but the WRX is basically an Impreza with fat butt.

What was the logic behind the assumption that crashes only happen at perfect 90-degree angles and into perfectly flat, impact-distributing surfaces? I thought “wow, that G-body did really well” at first, then I realized the incredible improbability of such a crash happening in real life.

I don’t really know why they did that.

Here’s the side impact rating with and without side airbags for a newer version of your Crown Vic:

Haven’t been able to find an offical crash test for either an MJ, XJ, or Niva. I did however find several for a KJ, but mine came pre-crashed and I don’t have it any more so it doesn’t really count. But despite the lack of data on collision safety, suffice it to say I don’t plan on testing any of my vehicles. Given that none have airbags, I’m not thrilled about the idea.
