Subaru, Volvo, Ford and Wolkswagen wins Insurance Institute Highway Safety Competition 2010 – Nineteen cars and eight SUVs have earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) Top Safety Pick award for 2010. And — for the first time — good performance in a roof strength test to measure protection in a rollover is required to win. Subaru is the only manufacturer with a winner in all four vehicle classes in which it competes. The automaker earned five awards for 2010. Ford and subsidiary Volvo have six winners, and Volkswagen/Audi had five.
The IIHS Top Safety Pick recognizes vehicles that do the best job of protecting people in front, side, rear, and now rollover crashes based on good ratings in institute tests. Winners also must have electronic stability control, which research shows significantly reduces crash risk. This is the second time the Institute has tightened criteria since announcing the first recipients in 2005. (more…)

Describes Edmunds.com Clunker Estimate of $24,000 as ‘Overstated and Misleading’
After a thorough review of the Cash for Clunkers program, the chief economist of the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), Dr. Paul Taylor, determined that the cost of each incremental vehicle sold was around $4,587. An incremental sale is a sale that would not otherwise have occurred without the Clunkers program.
His findings bring into serious question the methodology behind the $24,000 estimate promoted last week by the car-buying Web site Edmunds.com.
“It’s really not that hard to determine a credible cost estimate for the Clunkers program,” says Taylor. “You subtract projected sales from actual sales for July and August when the Clunkers program was operating, and divide the program’s $3 billion by that number.”
Taylor says that, based on sales volume for previous months, a realistic projection of auto sales for July and August would be around 1,600,000. Actual sales for those two months totaled 2,253,963. The difference is 653,963. That’s the number of incremental sales generated by the Clunkers program. Divide the program’s $3 billion by that number and you get $4,587, the average cost per incremental Clunker sale. (more…)
