Thanks!

I don't know if they got my good side.

Really, I gave them a whole laundry list of why the Versa is a safe car and why big<>safe. They pulled out "six air bags" and "do I feel safe in this car, yes I do"

Convincing?

Nice work, Ben. I think it's extremely cool how active our community is in the "real world" as well as here on the forums.

Too bad the news network sort ignored what you had to say and still went with the small cars aren't as safe headline.

I wish the news media would make up thier minds. First they tell us that SUV's are bad and we should all drive small cars and now instead of giving the Versa the credit due it they say to be truly safe we need to drive big cars.

Well I guess this is what we should be driving.

I'm for it. We will have to start measuring fuel economy in GPS (Gallons Per Second). Then we can do burn outs like this.

Definatly didnt see the whole news clip, but happy to see that the Versa scored top in its class... beating out the Fit; Versa's biggest competitor.
