The slogan for the school of SUV 'safety' design: "Kill or be killed." Notice it says nothing about good brakes? The Ford Expedition takes 220 feet to stop from 70 MPH, the late 80's VW Jetta GLI, 175 feet. Any one know what the figures are for the Vanagon? -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com]On Behalf Of Joel Walker Sent: Friday, June 16, 2000 3:30 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: How safe is it?
> You can compare different VW's safety here: > http://www.crashtest.com/volkswagen/index.htm and for those of you who think this stuff makes any difference ... :) ... check the Chevrolet Trucks, particularly the Astro van and the S10 Blazer. you know, the Blazer SUV that kills everyone when it hits them. ;) all i know is that my insurance company gives me a 'safe car' discount for my 88 bus, cause folks don't seem to get hurt as much in a vanagon. and we all know how tight and stingy insurance companies are!! :) joel |
