I never cared about safety until I became a family man. Does anybody know the crash ratings for the G8? Cuz I can't find'em.

I dont think theyve been tested by NHTSA or IISA, at least not according to the window sticker I saw last weekend.

This really blows my mind...I always assumed a vehicle could not be sold in the US UNTIL it was tested both by EPA and NHSTA. Silly me, I thought Big Brother was watching out for us.

Anyway, the VE Commodore on which the G8 is based: "Crash test results from ANCAP rate the VE lower in the offset frontal impact test than the previous generation Commodore. The overall crash score was marginally higher than the outgoing VZ, due to improvements in side impact protection giving a score of 27.45 out of 37 or a four star rating out of a possible five."
