> 2. NHTSA Unveils Tougher Five-Star Rating System on 2011 Vehicles
>
> The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced
> this week that it is now using a tougher five-star rating program for crash
> tests on 2011 vehicles. NHTSA said the new system will give consumers a
> single overall score for the first time on safety and will provide
> information on whether vehicles have advanced safety features.
>
> The new program includes a side impact pole test and new injury criteria.
> The side impact pole test simulates an accident where a vehicle is wrapped
> around a tree. NHTSA said tests from the first batch vehicles will be
> released in September, including results for the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion,
> Ford Taurus, Ford F-150, Ford Fiesta, Chevrolet Cruze, Chevrolet Malibu,
> Dodge Caliber and Honda Accord. The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, a
> trade association for major automakers, emphasizes that some scores on
> vehicles will go down even though the vehicles haven’t changed.
