I agree a lot with what Juan said, as far as perception an possibly sales go. However, I personally would take a car with average grade safety capabilities and outstanding handling/braking/stability control (aka AVOID the accident), then a vehicle with great safety on impact that has no ability to avoid the impact. Again all IMO.

And of course Kia and others will drum up this success (they should), as would BMW it had results saying it bashed the crap out of Audi, MB and Porsche. IMO this test is very accurate and simply comparing "crash reports" is not as there are bound to be far less luxury cars then average cars on the road, therefore changing the percentage and proportion in results.
