Wow! Hope we never have to find out for ourselves how safe the car is.
Happy motoring!

That's a pretty intense little video! Everyone is always first to talk about speed or price or features, but when it comes down to it, there is something to be said for piece of mind knowing that the vehicle that you and your family are cruising around in may just make the difference between life and death!

It's insane to think how quickly the airbags have to open, especially in the side crashes.

Unfortunately, the current C never does quite as well in the U.S. tests/ratings, but I still have a lot of faith in this car's safety.
