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…)
