Crap. I have one of these.

That's not good. Being killed in a car crash would really take away from the overall driving experience.

I can describe this in 1 word: DEATH. This is the ONLY side crash test that the rear passenger did better that I've seen so far.

Да уж, смотря что случилось с головой манекена, сидящего, за рулем при наличии боковой подушки...страшно было бы попасть в такую аварию на версии без таковой...а ведь достаточно людей на таких ездит.
