In the side impact video, you see the side window shatter "straight UP" (outside the car) on impact.

Do you have a link to the side impact test?

Good vid. Some of his critique is arguable based on your perception of what works well, ie: brakes, hi speed, steering wheel height, acceleration. In other words what he doesn't like I may be fine with. IMHO

I was mistaken...
The "mist" I was seeing looks like some kind of powder...I thought it was glass.

Here's a GOOD vid...You'll see what I mean. I'm actually surprised at what the glass DOES do...

I think the reason it only gets 2/4 for pedestrian is due to the wipers whipping forward...Those things look like they'd take your head off!
