Audi A4 is ?Best Pick? in the USA

Best in class in crash test

The renowned Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the USA has awarded the Audi A4 its highest rating of ?Best Pick?. This is the result of the best individual ratings overall that the US safety experts have ever awarded a midsize vehicle after a crash test.

Following its excellent performance in the Euro-NCAP crash test, the A4 Saloon has thus received confirmation once again for its integral safety concept.

The IIHS regularly carries out crash tests on behalf of the US insurance industry on passenger vehicles of all kinds to establish their safety standard. Experts and car buyers alike, both within and outside the USA, pay considerable attention to the results. The IIHS test includes a frontal offset crash performed at 64 km/h, with 40 percent of the vehicle?s width striking a deformable barrier. Structural deformation as well as the kinematics and stresses to which passengers are subjected are then evaluated.

Body deformation in accidents that occur at lower speeds are also included in the overall test rating. The results obtained inform the public about the expected cost of repairing minor vehicle damage. They also serve to classify or re-classify the vehicles in the relevant insurance groups.

Io so poco l'inglese ma mi pare che "the best..." sia una bella parola, o no!? ;) ;D

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, non ditemi che dovrò rivedere il mio punto di vista sui 'mmmmmmericani [che è simile a quello di Troisi-Benigni in "Non ci resta che piangere"] :P ;D ;D
