Forbes picks 'Safest Cars' for 2006
Filed under: Acura Author:
The list-meisters over at Forbes
Magazine are at it again, this time short-listing what it says are the safest
cars available in 2006. And it is indeed a short list-- just four cars:
- Acura RL
- Honda Civic
- Saab 9-3
- Volvo S80
Forbes based its results on vehicles posting high Consumer Reports accident avoidance findings, as well as perfect scorecards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and/or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Forbes admits that it excluded vehicles not long for this world, which makes their choice of the current Volvo S80 a little puzzling. Either way, we wouldn't exactly recommend playing chicken with private planes, as seen above.
