Uhoh. Volvo has some competetion now. Well, we don't have Renaults in the states, so Volvo is still the safest thing on the road in the states.

I don't want to go off topic, but I'm interested what kind of rating system you have over there. Here it's pretty much the NCAP, so manufacturers are tailoring their cars to do well at this - some people are saying this is at the expense of real-world effectiveness. It's pretty comprehensive though. http://www.euroncap.com/
