Injury measures:

Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that serious skull fracture and/or brain injuries, plus rib fractures and/or internal organ injuries would be likely in a crash of this severity. A fracture of the pelvis would also be possible, and loading to the shoulder was excessive.

Rear passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures as well as a left femur fracture would be possible in a crash of this severity.
Head protection:

Driver — The dummy's head was hit by the intruding barrier, producing high head injury measures.

Rear passenger — The dummy's head was hit by the intruding barrier, as well as the window sill and window frame of the rear passenger door and the pillar behind the door. These impacts did not produce high head injury measures, but the head protection is inadequate.

A good one! I didn't know that.

Truth be told though, Ford is fighting back. The new Fusion Hybrid and Taurus SHO are very competitive cars and nearly lead technologically.
