So Glad...

I chose TL....

From the article, "Only the Volvo S60 and Acura TL scored "good." Both cars had sufficient body-frame strength to prevent the wheel assemblies from intruding into the cabin, the IIHS said."

Sorry BMW and Merc owners, your German vehicles are not made as tough as Acuras...

The 1/4 offset frontal side blow impact doesn't fully account for the big floppy clown shoes worn by most German vehicle drivers. Therefore actual results may be worse for those vehicles than reported by the NHTSA.
