The Freestyle and Taurus are the safest vehicles on the road. Period. According to NHSTA and IIHS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplesituations Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 too bad they don't mention that the 5 best resale vehicles are some of the worst on the road for safety. The Freestyle and Taurus are the safest vehicles on the road. Period. According to NHSTA and IIHS it's the so-called demand factor, they may suck in safety but the moron public wants these cars according to the media of course.
