Ford Jellymoulds Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 That first car looks like a Citroen 2CV Thanks for the updated photo of the F-Series Richard, the Citroen 2CV was the worst car ever made and it just gets worse. http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/06/reborn-...rd-as-original/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_the_limey Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) That video also makes a case for crash compatibility, as the Q7 appears to ride over the 500. http://www.iihs.org/research/topics/compatibility.html Indeed! In the interests of balance the ADAC were also using this as an example of compatibility issues between differing vehicle impact scructure heights.

jon_the_limey Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 High sided vehicles with a high centre of gravity like a Range Rover or Land Rover SUV's are easy to to roll over they should have more tests on rollovers as a lot of folk die in these sort of crashes in the real world Jon. How predictable! Should have thought you would bring Land Rover into it. Anyway this why the latest Landies have an array of passive and active rollover protection and prevention systems.

I was only pulling your leg Land Rovers are one of the best in the SUV class, but you can't help but admire how well the Falcon has done in these tough Aussie crash tests and was awarded a very high 34.6 points http://www.howsafeisyourcar.com.au/_script...ult.php?IID=213 1st Fiat 500/Ka? 34.91 2nd Land Rover Freelander 34.84 3nd Ford Falcon 34.6 4th Ford Focus LHD 32.46 5th Land Rover Discovery 3 (LHD) 31.84 6th Range Rover 29.87 7th Ford Fiesta 24.84 8th Ford Escape 24.6 9th Land Rover Freelandr 2002 - 19.9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
