|
|
| Some vehicles, mostly luxury models, haven't
been crash tested by the government because of budget constraints and therefore
couldn't be evaluated in Weekend Journal's framework. Another dozen or so
vehicles have had substantial redesigns since there last crash tests, making
their exisiting ratings irrelevant. |
