TOSS SAFEST CARS-POP

IF YOU OR A LOVED-ONE IS THINKING ABOUT BUYING A NEW CAR, THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY IS OUT WITH THEIR LIST OF SAFEST CARS FOR 20-10.

AND THERE ARE A FEW BIG SURPRISES THIS YEAR.

SAFEST CARS-PKG

1.ADRIAN LUND

INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY

THEY'RE AT IT AGAIN.

TAKING PERFECTLY GOOD CARS and SUVs, AND DESTROYING THEM, ONE AFTER ANOTHER.

.TOO SEE WHICH 2010 MODELS EARN THE COVETED "TOP SAFETY PICK" DESIGNATION FROM THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY.

THIS YEAR, 27 MODELS MADE THE CUT:

ALL HOLDING-UP WELL IN FRONT.

.SIDE.

.REAR IMPACT COLLISIONS.

AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL.

BUT IT WAS THIS NEW TEST THAT CUT THE LIST FROM 94 TOP SAFETY PICKS LAST YEAR TO 27 THIS YEAR:

A NEW ROOF STRENGTH TEST:

"For a good rating, what we're looking for is a roof that will withstand a force that is 4x that vehicle's weight."

WITH 9-THOUSAND PEOPLE DYING IN ROLLOVER CRASHES EACH YEAR, THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE WANTS ROOFS TO BE TWICE AS STRONG AS THE FEDERAL STANDARD:

"When a vehicle's roof caves in, there really isn't much room left in here to protect the occupants."

IN THE END, 19 CARS AND 8 SUVs WON THE TOP SAFETY PICK HONORS:

SUBARU WAS THE ONLY MANUFACTURER WITH A WINNER IN ALL FOUR VEHICLE CLASSES IN WHICH IT COMPETES.

-FORD AND ITS VOLVO UNIT EARNED HAD SIX WINNERS.

-VOLKSWAGEN/AUDI HAD 5.

-CHRYSLER EARNED 4 AS IT CONTINUES TO IMPROVE ITS QUALITY.

-WHILE THE NISSAN CUBE AND THE KIA SOUL ALSO JOINED THE LIST.

ONE BIG SURPRISE: NOT A SINGLE TOYOTA OR LEXUS MODEL MADE THE CUT THIS YEAR.

THE INSTITUTE SAYS TOYOTA'S CARS DID PASS THE CRASH TESTS.

".but its seats and head restraints don't offer good protection in rear impacts. If it just upgrades its seats and head restraints, the Toyota Camry would be a Top Safety Pick."

IN A STATEMENT, TOYOTA INSISTS:

"All Toyota vehicles meet or exceed Federal Safety Standards for frontal and side impact, roof crush resistance and rollover protection."

MEANWHILE, ONE LAST PIECE OF ADVICE:
