    did they modernize it for crash safety or did they modernize it so they can stop using parts made 50 years ago which are harder to produce and find now.

    Was the crash safety testing done between what would be an expected vehicle it would commonly see in it’s life time or was it against an f150 which is basically going to steam roll the thing nomatter how much of a tank it is.

      It failed against a bloody car lmfao.

      How is it a part difference when they added airbags and other features and it didn’t increase the rating…? In those vehicles the driver is the crumble zone dude lmfao, always have been and that can’t change with their design. Fucking yeesh lmfao.

        trucks are also a car?

        That car is still probably is at least twice the weight of the kei truck. It’s arguably probably not crashing in the correct spot for the crumple zone of the impacting car to work appropriately, and if it is it still weighs significantly more than the kei truck meaning it’s significantly less effective.

        Perhaps go and find some parameters from this “supposed” test, and post them here so we can oggle at them.

          Trucks and cars are vehicles dude… suvs are another distinction, got a source of people calling trucks “cars”? That would be great.

          Fucking yikes……
