G35 unsafe!!!

ward · 10-28-2005, 06:37 PM

The list of unsafe cars points to two trends. First, the least-safe cars are cheap. However, some luxury cars have subpar crash-test scores. The Jaguar X-Type sedan from Ford Motor and the Infiniti G35 and M model lines from Nissan Motor received one "poor" rating each, which was alarming but not enough to merit placement on our list

It's a shame about how car companies build cars around features rather than safety. Safety should be number one, and I think that's what these reviews are trying to tell car companies. If you're on a budget looking for a new $10,000-19,000 car, that car should be as safe as a safe $90,000 luxury car.

But I guess having more featuers (like with Kia) or larger production output (like with Ford) is more important than safety.

There's really no excuse for an unsafe $40,000 car, though

thats what makes the e90 worth buying then the g35. for me its better to be safe then sorry, sure your car might be faster then mine, but iam safer!!

I am not surprised at the Jag X-Type's performance seeming as it is built off the humble Ford Mondeo platform.

The E90 got 5 stars in the Euro NCAP? Right?

Anyone know what it got in the US NCAP?
