@20Torrent08GXP The Insurance Institute always tests cars with only standard equipment. And you don't have to have an LT to have side airbags, my mom's LS has them. Anyway I agree, it would be nice to see a test with the SAB to see if the car performs any better.

that pillow they are talking about its not soft at all

[BermudaGreenNox]

This is without the SABs, though.

how was minimal head damage measured??? The dummies' head in both the driver and rear compartment were slammed!! I think "marginal" was a little overrated, i would have to say poor

[sandrodaniel]

What does MARGINAL means?? Is it Good or bad? I drive a Torrent 06

[TapTapTido]

Marginal = 2 Stars

[makoldanas3444]

nice

[alexkvaskov]

Those rear head restraints are tiny

[Octonuke]

@alexkvaskov yeah they are

[alexkvaskov]

@Octonuke LOL hmm "they're tiny" - thats what she said?

[alexkvaskov]

It would probably get a "good" rating with the airbags

[GMminivans9968]

Finally, IIHS tested the Equinox. It had 4 years to do it, and only did it now.

"Marginal" without side airbags is very impressive.

[BermudaGreenNox]

Yeah, and right before the redesign!
