Mercedes-Benz should buy the rights to the song "Like a rock" by Bob Segar and use it in S-Class commercials. The S is a lot tougher than some puny Chevy pickup .

Dumb question but any significance of most crash test cars being painted that shade?

They paint them in bright orange and other colors like that so they can easily see every single point of movement in the cars body, where it collapses, where it holds up, etc. Most of the time, they have the paint slightly wet so when it is touched it will come off.

Not sure, the test was performed by the Euro NCAP though, so whatever speeds they test at. I think 40 or 50 mph.

C-Class
the orange color is used for crash-tests to minimize the reflection for the high-speed-cameras. imagine a shiny polished black
