jedi 08-23-2007, 12:32 PM Consumer Reports now has crash test videos available for free on their website. Watch how our Element and many others did in slow-mo. Sure would like side impact airbags after watching this. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/cars/safety-recalls/carcrashtest/crashtestvideo.htm lizzurd 08-23-2007, 12:48 PM Consumer Reports now has crash test videos available for free on their website.

This same video is also the reason i traded in a perfectly good 2003 EX without side airbags....I wanted a little more protection. box-E 08-23-2007, 01:12 PM Glad I bought an 07:D, and I'm glad my wife got her 07 Ody after seeing that. Her 05 T&C didn't have side airbags, looks like they really make a difference. Drew:) Brawsie 08-23-2007, 01:44 PM Cool site. I've burned a good 15 minutes watching every vehicle my family owns getting smashed! lizzurd 08-23-2007, 01:47 PM Wan't see something scarey....i seen a few vids recently of chinese built cars being crash tested......a 76 chevette would have done better than these cars. DorchesterBoy 08-23-2007, 03:11 PM Wan't see something scarey....i seen a few vids recently of chinese built cars being crash tested......a 76 chevette would have done better than these cars. Agree... that video was very scary, that car folded like a cheap accordian. lizzurd 08-23-2007, 03:19 PM Agree... that video was very scary, that car folded like a cheap accordian. Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F06LjugtIUo Brawsie 08-23-2007, 03:29 PM How about this one. I've seen tougher toilet paper. :???: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Swzbt76wBM ORANGEE 08-23-2007, 04:00 PM My crash is better than your crash.................LOL DorchesterBoy 08-23-2007, 04:49 PM How about this one. I've seen tougher toilet paper. :???: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Swzbt76wBM This is the video that I saw. To me it looks like a $7,000 - $10,000 coffin. With all of the problems that U.S. auto makers have been having for years why in the world would they be investing in importing yet another vehicle that the consumer will not want to buy?. If the U.S. automakers follow through with importing these cars from China they may well be in lawsuit hell until they die.

Everybody watch and link this video. This shows, without a doubt, why Chinese cars should not be imported. Terrorists couldn't kill as many good Americans as 20,000 of these Chinese made death traps could. | ||
