RE: [OT] large car thoughts

["Young, Jeff" <Jeff.Young@xxxxxxxx>]

According to Chrysler they no longer submit their cars for NCAP testing,
relying on their ratings in the USA.  They say that NCAP is heavily funded
by Renault and don't think it's a fair test....Espace gets 5* - funny that
...

NCAP is the source of the crash data. Presumably when they've produced a
report for the current version, it will appear there.

They do seem to appear a significant time after the launch of some
vehicles. Don't know if this implies that they had to go back and
"fix"
something...
