Well damn, that is cool, you can really see what the active headrests do too in the front crash test too.

@palebeachbum um... my 1989 mercedes does this

@palebeachbum my 88 Toyota 4runner has that too!

@MercedesBenzGKlasse Nope, you're wrong. The old MB headrests TILT forward, they do not SLIDE forward as they do on Optima, with 3 position settings. Also, Optima's headrests are active restraints. They pop forward in a crash to catch your head. In the 30yr old Mercedes, they aren't.

@palebeachbum every 30 year old mercedes has that feature

I feel safe in my Optima. I discovered that the front head rests can be adjusted forward/backward so you have the choice how close to position it to the back of your head. Not many cars have this feature.

I think it depends on who you ask. The Hyundai Sonata which very similar mechanically to the Optima is considered a full-sized car by the EPA but it competes in the mid-sized segment against the accord, camry, etc.
