Poor S60 Crash Test Score???? S60

posted by  someone claiming to be Punxsutawney Phil on  Tue Jun 11 15:35 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Maybe they think the accident scenario of running into a huge block of concrete on the highway is uncommon? I'd look at the "real world" insurance claims results, also available from the same source.

Compared with the 850/70 it looks like the s60 recieved one additional "Acceptable" rating.

There have always been safer cars than Volvos, and the testing methods have always been less than perfect. In one of the very first crash tests note the 1979 240 received one (1) star, same as the Renault LeCar.
