[@CaptHollister]

Many of these are for offset frontal impacts. These tests were not a requirement at the time, it was the insurance institute, not a government department, that pushed for them. These videos were part of their media campaign. Cars like the Pontiac Trans Sport had no difficulty passing front barrier impact tests, but were not designed to survive the offset test designed by the Insurance Institute which many at the time considered unrealistic.

[@uncleshark1103]

I've always thought that hurtling an automobile directly at a cement wall, or solid block of steel was hilariously unrealistic. The plurality of accidents are rear-end collisions with other automobiles, which produce vastly different results.

[@vincenzodigrande2070]

Only the little clip at the end shows the same impact at different speeds, and clearly the best safety feature ever, is not speeding. People drive like they know safety tests are done and they've got them covered. Just take any modern car and crash it at 90mph and just watch how anybody in it would be just as dead as in any old car. In the US it is even worse due to trucks having an exemption for the most thorough kinds of crash testing (and also don't have to comply to the highest pollution standards) That should mean they could be made much cheaper, but instead the car companies put this money in their own pockets by simply making more profit for themselves. These cars though, have become the face of a nation now, where it isn't even safe any more to be in a normal vehicle, due to them not being crash compatible.

[@gregcarbonimaestri]

I had a huge accident on the left like in this video in a Fiat seicento (I was driving) - I was hit by a car coming fast (the guy was drunk) and the lateral security structures and the system of flexible interior saved my life: I had nothing, but the car was totally destroyed. I love Fiat!

[@e28forever30]

The TransSport was briefly marketed as an Opel, but quickly disappeared from the scene after this devastating crash result.

[@CaptHollister]

The Trans Sport was never sold as an Opel, it was sold in Europe as a "Chevrolet" Trans Sport or a Pontiac Trans Sport, depending on the country. You're thinking of the Opel Sintra which was based on the successor of these vans, the Chevrolet Venture and Pontiac Montana (there were also Oldsmobile and Buick versions). However, the Opel used entirely different drivetrains and some of these components impacted on the behaviour in the EuroNcap tests.

[@mikelowe3647]

Der Opel als Transsprort war auch kleiner

[@sunrise560]

Wait a moment! The Mercedes C-Class was one of the safest vehicles of its time! You can also see this very clearly in the test. The vehicle cell remains stable, does not collapse as in other vehicles and the airbag also contributes to survival. The fact that "Driverix" portrays this vehicle as unsafe shows that this person either simply has no idea or is deliberately misrepresenting the facts. Both are dishonest!

Almost no visible traces on the Merc, whereas the Citroën's driver's door almost disintegrated and the sill was bent enough to lose rigidity.
