The Sterring column also fails to collapse and actually comes up and into the drivers face.

Few otyhers would back me up but going to that as a real accdient:

Definately severe leg injuries, probobly lower and upper, pelvic injuries, serious head and chest injuries and that assumes its not fatal.

...which, oddly, has a video of the same crash test but from a different angle.

Two videos on the Net? Clearly the people at the German safety test place don't like the Landwind.

Now for the really scary stuff....what happens when a lorry hits a line of standing cars.

Post by: Range Rover Blues on December 08, 2006, 13:13:56: Funny how the treehugger's favourite just fell apart. Seperate chassis with a tinfoil top.

Shame to see the Consul Granada get mashed though, Guv.

Post by: Drift on December 09, 2006, 01:53:55: Yup it is the Frontera styling not the running gear or chassi , I have heard there could be a breach of copyright ?? on the styling by GM .

China are wanting to get into the european market big time and this is just a rushed and botched attempt to do so.
From what Ive read, this car is going back to the factory for reassement :shock: , still wouldnt have one :lol:
