sometimes it's not the brand... safety does not solely centre
arnd the no of air bags n all tt nonesence... of course it may help
if implemented correctly. In fact, a car wif kangaroo bars and
nudge bars may be less safe than cars w/o...
it's really the amt of effort tt a company puts into research, to
improve the safety of their cars...
if u had seen the pics of the QQ in the crash test, air bags
wouldn't hv helped. the dash pierced the driver's leg!!! imaging if
it went through a major vein! look also at the crash dummy... u may
notice the seat belt is strangling the driver... furthermore, the
loose dash and interior panels will also become projectiles during
the accedent.
seriously lah... u don't expect much (quality as well as reasearch)
frm a company tt started in 1998 do u?
btw, can anyone verify if there's a pic in the QQ catalogue of a
man standing in the rain wif a QQ behind?( a car mag was making fun
of it...
