The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has recently made available its yearly list of vehicles that had gained the agency’s popular ‘Top Safety Pick’ honor, showing that some key milestones had been realized. According to Adrian Lund, president of the IIHS, “Top Safety Pick winners are the top performers in tough front, side, and rear crash tests, and they have electronic stability control, a crucial technology that can help drivers avoid many crashes altogether.”
Although Ford is at the top of the list which included 16 of its vehicles, the actual celebrations would have been taking place over at Acura. The first-rate Honda auxiliary got a ‘Top Safety Pick’ for all the vehicles in its range, while the entire Honda group only achieved to get 13 of its vehicles into the safety list. One prominent brand missing from the list was Lexus, which together with Infiniti, discovered many of its vehicles’ head and seat restraints were not sufficient to attain the award.
