Not assigning credibility to Consumer Reports, sorry. They did it to themselves.

Another assault on the petrol dollar as reserve currency. And makes me want to build a V12 prius

This is enacted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Something done by administrative fiat can be reversed by administrative fiat.

I doubt it will be last through 2024.

Exactly. My car has 50K miles, and I drive about 5K miles per year. At my age it will probably outlive me.

Mine is a 2010. Have 67k on it and I drive 5k or less a year now. I don’t plan on replacing it but if I get to 2024 I will consider a new one as I don’t plan to drive an EV ever nor some small S box. Bidet can GFH.

It's not their video, they simply copied it. It was the first one I could find. It's from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, the entity that actually crash-tests hundreds of vehicles a year. I remember when it first came out. The entire video was several minutes long and explained what would have happened to the drivers of both vehicles. Is It's a legitimate video and crash test.

Forget new vehicles it’s cheaper to by a restored pre 1971 car or truck and they look better and more fun to drive.

Not assigning credibility to the IIHS either. That entity pushes for automation, red light cameras and other infringements on freedom.

My experience with 1970s cars vs. later cars (particularly 1971 Dodge Dart vs. early 90s Peugeot 405) says otherwise.

Well, you're talking French-made car. I had a 505. It was the littlest big POS I've ever owned. It wouldn't go when you hit the gas, t would barely stop when you hit the brakes. One time, as I accelerated away from a four-way stop at the breakneck speed of slug, the driver's seat back broke away from the seat and gave me a wonderful view of the headliner.

I also owned a 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner. It was so poorly made that the rear-end fell out from under it when it was put up on a lift in 1992. A 23-year-old car from the desert southwest. The fit and finish was so bad that water leaked around the rear window and rusted the stamped steel that connects the rear suspension to the unibody.
