I answered my own question..according to NHTSA: http://www.crashtest.com/explanations/archive/crash.htm#anchor168847 88 Vanagon: Front impact - 1 star (*) = 46% or greater chance of serious injury Side impact - 3 stars (***) = 21% to 35% chance of serious injury I think my previous Austin Mini comment stands. If you drive a volvo wagon, you really want to avoid vanagons: http://www.251.org/volvocrash.html I think I'll buy some knee pads :-) |
