The test of the Chery (the only one I've watched so far) is quite terrifying.
22/12/2011 @ 10:57:04: antp: Latin NCAP
Indeed.
But I am surprised by the other low scores.
e.g. the new Uno has a low score but it seems to handle the crash in a similar way to other recent cars :confused: (well I suppose that it is due to internal parts like dashboard or pedals which come too close in the car)

I forgot one thing, the Nissan Micra sold in Europe recived 4 stars and the March built in Mexico recive only 2

Interesting! The March does have significantly more injury to the driver, especially the feet.

Any doubt about my comments of the Narcosur cars now?
Why surprised. In Br*zil, all the brands made incredible cr*ps. It's well known this.
Okay, i hope to not receive lacks of respect or other comments about my comment.
Thanks

They only think in the profit, what do you expect ? But the Gol, Palio an Meriva recive 3 stars with airbags was a surprise

I expected to open the eyes of Europe registered users who commented before,
and your fellows acds, br*ziliancars and caioficetech...

But the things is getting better, in 2012 crash test will be required by the governament, in 2014 ABS and frontal air bags will be required too and they are starting to make modern cars in Brazil, this new ugly Chevy Cobalt use the Opel Corsa D platform and not the Corsa A platform like the Agile and Celta.
There's still hope, my friend
23/12/2011 @ 17:42:19: Gomsel: Latin NCAP
We hope so. Also in 2014 here, since both countries are signatories of the ABS/Airbag requirement. But cars like Corsa B, old Uno/Fiorino, Kombi, Palio, Siena and other grime, will not go away easy.
I guess the Narcosur will be something just "better".
