Replying to: dino001 (Aug 18, 2006 4:39 am) The U.S. has the toughest crashtest ratings in the world, right next to some European countries. Japan, have you ever visited Japan? I have to wonder about what thier crashtest ratings are? or standards are? I saw and rode in some vehicles that I know would not pass a test here in the U.S. or Europe...   This topic has been beaten to death over and over again. Granted, the Fusion doesn't get 5 star rating. However, 4 star does not indicate a deathtrap that some want you to believe. Education is key.
#108 of 114 Crash test photos by jeffyscott Oct 05, 2006 (9:56 am)
For no particular reason, I happened to take a look IIHS crash test results from the prior generation of Sonata/Kia Optima. I was shocked to see the photos of what was considered acceptable, since I remembered that the Fusion's photos did not look too bad.   While the Fusion photos actually do look acceptable the Sonata/Optima ones sure do not seem acceptable.   Just thought this was an interesting comparison...you can see the photos at:   http://www.iihs.org/ratings/rating.aspx?id=115   and   http://www.iihs.org/ratings/rating.aspx?id=631

Replying to: scape2 (Feb 06, 2007 10:54 am) Yes, Fusions built AFTER January 2007 have been reinforced in the front floor area and have better crash test ratings.
#111 of 114 Changes apply to. by mschmal Mar 17, 2007 (9:50 am)
Technically, the changes went into effect with Job 2 which is before Jan. You can spot an 07 Job 2 in that it has a mast radio antenna instead of one in the rear glass.   Mark.

to wonder why this wasn't all over the media? Also, I have been hammering two other car websites as to why they still list the 06 crash test ratings for the Fusion when you compare sedans. This is very, very misleading and can sway a purchase to another car.. Replies to this message: akirby (Mar 19, 2007 4:46 am)

Replying to: scape2 (Mar 18, 2007 9:49 am) Same reason they don't advertise keyless entry keypads (makes me sick seeing the OnStar commercials where prople call and wait for OnStar to unlock the car - what if you locked your cell phone in the car?), lower emissions, etc.   They do appear to be waking up with the F150 and Expedition ads, but this is not Ford's strong suit.
