Not just a headline....I would be genuinely interested to see how the Camaro would fare...Mustang's not doing well, and it's not just because of tech and safety features. Seems like airbag deployment allows the head to impact the steering wheel??? I'm no expert on safety testing, and I might be wrong...but I somehow doubt that airbag deployment speeds would vary between US and the rest of the world....
Sounds like Ford didn't want this car tested until 2018 for whatever their reasons...and have been selling it without a rating for a year or two, now. Australia and Europe vehicle safety administrations finally got together and bought their own cars to do tests, and it didn't go well.
"I would urge Ford to take this as a wake up, to swiftly upgrade the vehicle where they can. It is not just about seatbelt reminders and safety assist, there are fundamental points about airbag deployment and doors that should be looked at and explained."
