my problem is that this was demonstrated by abc, the same joint who blew up a chevy pickup to show how it reacted to a side impact, when it didn’t burst into flames on its own.
that said, I clearly recall how it was a very similar situation that caused Audi to pull out of the USA for a decade or so. Audi is back now, but NOT the A-5000. Of course, I still don’t trust them...
The exact same design that Audi was pilloried for, was present in VW (same maker). While Audi was being reported to have such and so rate of incident, the exact same design in a VW was not reported to have trouble.
The moral? The public's perception of design flaw is driven by media reports, and not by true facts.

Uh, don’t look now, but that was NBC.
