I actually saw a 3.5 coupe on the back of a flat bed the other evening that looked like it had been rearended by a freight train. Undoubtedly totaled.

Only 4 stars for frontal crash? That's not good...

for frontal4 Stars = 11% to 20% chance of serious injury

that means that at worst if you hit something at 35mph you have 4out of 5 chance of walking away just fine and at best 22 out of 25 chance of the same thing
