ok~~
I see gr8, I won't discuss it anymore. Just little bit to oo4load
I do have a different opinion with you
Especially this part "QQs body is weaker causing less deceleration"
First, watch this video clip (I think Most of these cars got a good mark for the saftey)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk5cp93zefk
As you can see, the front part is crushed in the most of car, but the body was remained its own shape. If the body structure is crushed, every piece of interiors in the car will be changed like a weapon to the passenger or driver.
And I think the most of top manufactures in the present offer the front side or the side curtin airbag and the active head restraint at the present, but even these sort of tech won't work when the body structure damaged badly like QQ(Matiz) or Landwind.

For me, actually, the martiz looks slightly better regardless the air bag, but it won't make much different in the real world. However, I belive even in 74kmh, those cars in the above links will make the difference compared QQ(Matiz) or Landwind.
Also, as my english is not a really good, I didn't explain clearly why I mentioned the landwind. Actually, I mentioned the landwind to explain how you can be fooled by the media play of car manufacture. Whether the landwind passed the test or not, it's not my interest. My interest was how the car responded during those tests. And the test video show the result clearly no matter which test.
But, how did the manufacture response in the media about this test? :nono:
And personally, I take these tests as a good chance to the chinese cars. Why? They still have a time until they get into US. Which means the manufacture like Chery will be aware of this case and will work harder to improve this saftey aspect. But if this kind of result came out just before selling the car in US, I can guess what kind of things would happen......
ps Does anyone have the crash test video clip for the chinese cars rather than QQ and Landwind? Regardless the place where they perform the test....
