I just wanted to throw out there that I just read that only 3 of 11 Luxury Sedans received "Good/Acceptable" in the IIHS 40mph crash test. The Acura TL, the Volvo S60 and the Infinity G Series. I love my TL more and more every day.

 

There was just a segment on the 5 o'clock news about this as well. The Acura TL was the first one they mentioned. It was a 4G however.

 

I know it was about the 4G but surely the 3G is just as safe. I feel like my 3G is rock solid. I feel very comfortable driving my kids around in it.

 

ohh godd... another thread about this...

 

keepin' me safe :')

 

Too bad the TSX failed the test. http://bottomline.nbcnews.com/_news/...ash-tests?lite

 

Yeah. I just read it on msn.com

 

Oh

My

God

JJH just made a thread on this.

Yes the 3G has a 5 star safety rating.

Rough, I know. Sorry about that. Hope your panties are not in a knot.

 

Right, but the 3G hasn't been tested in this new test which is a partial front end collision. It would be interesting if they did go back and test a 3G TL in this partial impact test. This type of accident taht was being tested for accounts for 25% of all front impact crashes. The main thing is that the test is designed to completely miss the engine block since that would absorb a lot of the impact. It is nice that the 4G TL was one of only 3 vehicles that actually passed the test.

How in the hell did you miss this post??

Does anybody read through the threads anymore, or just make them up as they deem necessary?

 

Thanked!!

 

i happened to read this today as well. i believe it applied to newer model. but i am sure our tl is still top of the line.

 

Why bother coming in here to read or write anything if it hurts so bad? Nothing better to do in life? Get over yourselves folks.
