The best thing about these old tests is you can see how much progress has been made since.

I have actually crashed my vectra b at 90km/h, fixed it and sold it afterwards. From my personal experience it is much better than bmw 530!

Let me tell you about these crash tests.I won a 1997 Vauxhall Vectra GLS.Not a bad car in fact I like it.But I will always try my best not too be hit on either side. These tests are like 2 cars on a head on collision of just 20 mph...20..MPH.That is scary,if a lot of these cars had the test at spped of say 60 or just 20 mph faster,the story would be very different.A 5 star rated car,would fail. 2 cars that hit head on at 60 is like hitting a wall at 120 mph.There is only on word..dead.

[canadiantimberwolf1]

So not won...I own a 1997 Vauxhall Vectra GLS.Sorry about that.

@canadiantimberwolf1:

You're wrong. Two cars with same weight that hit each other with 60, is equal to hitting a wall with 60.

[canadiantimberwolf1]

@numsedoktor,I got rid of that Vectra, as I found out over time (just a few months)what I have always known... a GMC vehicle is..Garbage.

[canadiantimberwolf1]

Also, as for your statement,sorry I disagree.The speed to weight ratio can nothold the same merit.A single car crashing into a wall at 60,sure,will hit the wall at 60.Two vehicles of the same weight that collide into each other head on, is doubling the speed into the wall.

A truck an car crash still has the same velocity and same way (head on)but the impact can be 4 times or greater the value. Watch a Fifth Gear segment on Head on at true highway speeds,not this 40 stuff.

[whattheheck1000]

@canadiantimberwolf1 No, 40 mph, not 20.

[sangolt88]

Not to bad.
