    Is there a regulation somewhere that says what the score must be to be offered for sale as new in USofAmerica?

    Starring roles for JLR vehicles in the next Bond film is not a good sign for the direction of the series. What made Casino Royale so earth-shattering was its return to a more human scale conflict, largely devoid of mind-numbing chases and absurd gadgets. Bond faced a sociopath of mortal proportions, and the struggle was all the more compelling for it. They're squandering the reboot with over the top car chases.

      @PrincipalDan But your last line applies to most of the B&B.

    Derek, most people here don't have a subscription to Automotive News, so linking to it is a bit of a waste of time. Especially so, because they just seem to copy Reuters articles anyway. I see Mad Max Mosley has shamed India into national crash test standards, and enriched himself all at one go by providing consulting services. His oufit pretends to be UN certified. Amazing how making a small investment in crash testing a few Indian vehicles by that corrupt ADAC group in Germany, could vault Whip and Nazi dress-up man Mosley into a supposed position of grace.

      Better than having NO Crash standards. For a country that wants to be taken seriously as an "Automotive Powerhouse", like its populous neighbour, it has many many shortcomings

    What's ridiculous is that when a Chinese manufacturer in the early 2000's builds a car based on old Japanese designs and it fails miserably in a crash test, all of a sudden every Chinese car to ever exist must be a death trap despite newer Chinese cars posting either acceptable or occasionally excellent crash test results (the Qoros 3 has one of the best Euro NCAP crash tests of any car ever). But somehow when Nissan decides to go and build-in 2015-a complete deathtrap nobody ever extrapolates this out to all Nissans, despite actual crash test statistics showing that a lot of Nissan models oddly have some of the highest real world fatality rates (look at IIHS reports if you don't believe me). I'd feel far safer in most Geelys or a Qoros than this pile of crap.
