IIHS Releases Safest New Vehicles for 2010

Wednesday, November 18, 2009

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety released its list of cars awarded Top Safety Pick. The 27 vehicle list includes 19 cars and 8 SUV's. The Big Winner? Subaru, with five of its cars winning the awards from the IIHS. The Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza (except WRX), Subaru Legacy, Subaru Outback and Subaru Tribeca were selected, that's almost Subaru's entire lineup. Volvo and Volkswagen also cleaned up with four cars a piece taking home a trophy. Detroit was not to be out done, each Big Three Automaker had at least two cars make the list. The IIHS points out that Toyota and it's subsidiaries were absent from the list after receiving 11 awards last year, as well as BMW, Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Saab for not having qualifying vehicles. Other big surprises include the Honda Accord and Ford Fusion missing the grade for only meeting 'acceptable' standards in the new roof safety standards.

Hey internet, don’t forget to vote for your favorite car and truck of the year!

There's a lot of fancy awards going on around the automotive industry. Car and Driver have the 10 Best, Motor Trend has their own car and truck of the year, and there's even the North American Car and Truck of the year, just to name a few. Unfortunately all of these award are voted on by editors and writers, not by you. Now a new award is set to change all that.

The new Soul…Scion should take notes because Kia is doing it better.

While I was sitting around being lazy eating chocolate chip cookies, I found myself digging through scattered crumbs to find my television remote. After flipping through channels I stumbled upon a commercial for the new Kia Soul and was glued for that 30 seconds or less. Kia must have kidnapped designers from Toyota/Scion or something because this car is truly everything Scion needs to be doing. The Kia Soul is sure to be a hit with the youth market and hurt Scions decaying market even more.
