What will Audi do with "Poor" Rating on A4?
There are a number of Auto Manufacturers making running production changes to meet Small Overlap (25%) Frontal Crash Ratings of IIHS (1st year for test and "Good" only given to Accord and Kizashi so far). I hope Audi is one of them. The A4 failed and got a "Poor" rating. So did IS from Lexus; "C" model from Mercedes; Camry and Prius v from Toyota; TSX (Marginal) from Acura
while Fusion from Jan.; VW from Oct.; Subaru from Aug. could make changes to get an "Acceptable"
The A6/7 has not been tested.
Honda engineers said it added 10 -15 pounds to their ACE Body engineering and videos
quite amazing. Go to YouTube.com and search IIHS.
The contrast between Accord and Camry will blow your socks off if you are like me.
Naturally when I posted this on A4 Board because no one else had, someone said why did you not buy a Volvo!

Actually I am in the market for a new car for my wife - we looked at several cars including the A4 and Volvo. She is already leaning towards the Volvo so this is another benefit.
