Safety First....

Well, it looks like Toyota isn't the best out there in ONE category. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded its "top safety pick" to 19 passenger cars and 8 SUV's for 2010 vehicles. Ford and Volvo received 6 awards each. 5 awards went to Subaru, VW, and Audi. Followed by Chrysler with 4, and Honda and GM with 2 each. Toyota, BMW, Mitsubishi, and Mazda were shut out.

The 4 Chrysler winners are the 2010 Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Avenger, Dodge Journey, and Jeep Patriot.

“Chrysler showed the most improvement of any automaker for 2010,” said IIHS President Adrian Lund. “These Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge models are part of an elite group that afford the best overall crash protection and have electronic stability control, which can help keep drivers out of crashes altogether.”
