The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently released its list of Top Safety Pick winners for 2010 models. The list includes 27 vehicles which received top honors in each of four tests.
- high speed frontal impact
- high speed side impact
- vehicle rollover
- head restraints during rear impact
I was happy to see that Volvo continues to earn it’s reputation for safey. Leikin Volvo customers will be happy to know that the C30, S80, XC60, and XC90 all made the list. (I would imagine that the wagon variants of the S80 are included as well.) It was also good to see that the Buick LaCrosse and Mercedes-Benz C-Class made the list for 2010.
