Is it because the updated tests are much more demanding due to the backseat dummy in the frontal test and the higher speed and heavier barrier in the side test?

Man, these sedans tested are beautiful cars. Soo sleak and refined designs they have. And that Audi colour looks gorgeous.

How crazy, Brian was somewhat right now they’re moving into more modern versions of the offset test looking at safety of rear passengers now. They tested the vehicle I had before my current car, which was a 2014 Toyota Corolla and they started a new test Called the small overlap test in my car performed horribly I looked in Toyota probably because of that test redesigned the 2017 Toyota Corolla frame so that it was stronger. Take a look at that crash test compared to the 2014 and it’s astonishing, I ended up trading in my car for a 2017 Toyota Corolla SE and I’m much more at a peace of mind with this model.

I had the same BMW (E46) and wheels for about 4 years. I guess I was pretty safe seeing this 😄 it was a moneypit none the less, but an awesome fun car to drive. If I were rich, I might buy it again 😄

Technically, it’s a new test, because it’s different than the original test. However, they still haven’t given up the original test, which is odd, but they likely will soon.

I understand the IIHS's goal here BUT....as a result of their public car shaming for models that get marginal or poor ratings, it has driven up the price for cars significantly. Think about car safety the same way you think about your health insurance policy. The more safety or coverage you want, generally you'll spend more money to get it. That doesn't mean you had to spend $40,000. You could get even better safety for $19,995 buying a Ford Taurus. It earmed good top pick ratings for 1992-1995, 1996-1999 & 2000-2007 models. Food for thought, in retrospect.

1998 sienna “even cheaper than the old model” so clearly it’s possible

@@0w3nn No actually it's not. The Sienna is USA built the Previa was imported. The Sienna is also Camry based which helps with price. The Sienna is also decontented by comparison to the Previa and the new for 1997 was also cheaper than the old Camry back then. But we are talking about modern cars having useless safety tech nobody asked for that drives up the price NOW. Not back then. Look at the price of a new Sienna then report back to me.
