Chevrolet Camaro gets a safety rating of only four stars

Chevrolet Camaro gets a safety rating of only four stars

Getting a rating of five stars at the safety tests nowadays is a must. The real battle is not taken in which automaker gets the most cars with a safety rating of five stars, but who can get the maximum number of points and if possible a four or five star rating at the children and pedestal safety category. The days when cars like the Dodge Viper had a safety rating of only two or three stars are gone. Nowadays even muscle cars should and must get a safety rating of five stars.

The Australian engineered version of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro had a pitiful performance at the recent NCAP equivalent tests (the NHTSA crash tests). The Australian version of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro managed to get a safety rating of only four stars. The result came as a surprise, as the car got a maximum rating of five stars at the roll over tests and side impact tests. Unfortunately, the frontal impact tests were not as good, and the Australian version of the Chevrolet Camaro managed to get a safety rating of just four stars, a result that lowered the overall score.

To make the best idea of this result, we have to let you know that the main competitor of the Chevrolet Camaro, the Ford Mustang, managed to get a safety rating of five stars at all of the safety tests. Because of this result, the Ford Mustang might get the lead in terms of sales in the following months, as the Chevrolet Camaro has been outselling the Mustang in the last period of time.

Here is the actual story the poster stole from. You will also see howmuch opinionated BS was added into his cut-and-paste "story. You can also see not only that there is no Aussie version of the Camaro, but that the problem has been fixed by Holden, and we simply need GM North America to add Holden's fix. Camaro only gets four-star safety rating August 7, 2009 by George Skentzos 23 Comments Achieving the maximum five-star safety rating in crash tests has become the norm for most modern cars, especially for headlining models such as the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. However it seems the Australian engineered Chevrolet Camaro didn’t perform quite as expected in recent NHTSA crash testing – the US equivalent of ANCAP – achieving only a four-star safety rating. The Camaro managed to score the maximum five-star rating for side and roll-over testing, but the car’s front impact rating of only four-stars dragged down the overall score. In comparison, its main rival the Ford Mustang managed to achieve the maximum five-star rating across all tests, making this a less than ideal result for the Camaro, which has managed to outsell its arch rival for the second successive month. With the Camaro sharing its underpinnings with the VE Commodore, it seems Holden engineers may have overlooked a few simple design flaws, with the Commodore itself initially receiving only a four-star ANCAP rating. This safety concern was eventually rectified by Holden through the addition of a steering column shroud energy absorber across the VE sedan range that helps to reduce driver knee injuries. http://www.caradvice.com.au/37755/camaro-achieves-only-four-star-safety-rating/ In the future, hopefully the poster will leave out his personal axe to grind, and give credit to the writer.
