A4 scored "Good" in frontal offset and side impact

[foofighter]

just heard it on the news that's good to hear so that should help the sales of these cars!

just curious, what's the highest rating possible? Is "Good" the best?

[aussie_s4]

Ratings are Good-Acceptable-Marginal-Poor

The results weren't all good...

Audi A4 B6 - Frontal GOOD

Audi A4 B6 - Side GOOD

Audi A4 B6 - Rear POOR-MARGINAL

Ya Baby i just watched the vidoe of the crash and it took it like a champ. It got double best pick for both front and side crashes. It is only the second car to get that award. The only other car was the Saab 93.

Yep, I saw it (A4 B7) on the Today Show this morning....those tests are more stringent than the government requirements, in that they simulate an SUV hitting the cars. Airbags are vital to good safety. The A4 handled it very well; I'm glad I'm driving around in my S4 with its 10 airbags.
