Consumer Reports does crash test videos-with commentary

Finally, CR does something worthwhile with autos. They have put all the IIHS crash test videos on their site, and they have relevant commentary. Worth a look!
Look out for:

-'08 5-Series (side test video)

-Pontiac Trans Sport (did horrible)

-Saab 9-3 convertible (my car, aced it ;))

what other company does crash tests?

the 4runner got the highest rating for frontal, yet on most websites it got the 2nd highest.

Same with the BMW X5. The front passenger side got the 2nd highest when I looked.

More than one company doing these tests?

But the side rating for the '08 can apply for that....
