The 2009 Accord won many different safety ratings, as I have reported before in prior blogs.
I would have expected this trend to continue, however alas it has not. It was just reported in
http://blogs.thecarconnection.com/marty-blog/1038556_iihs-picks-the-safest-new-vehicles-for-2010
that the accord was not listed among the top 10 by the iihs (Institute for Highway Safety) for 2010 models.
The number of cars that they have approved reached 94 models for the 2009 model year. However, for 2010
they are cutting the number way down. The reason is tougher standards for roofs, in case of a roll over.
Some of the cars that passed really amaze me, as so many are US cars like the
Chevrolet Malibu,Chrysler Sebring sedan and the Dodge Avenger.
Read all about it, and weep for the falling Accord (which is still one of my favorite cars).
Thanks for Visiting.
