With the exception of 200.000 cars a year in the US alone…
Do get your facts straight, will you?

You should have left all the “S” out of that sentence or put them all in, for instance…
God know regular car never burt into flame… OR
Gods knows regulares cars neveres burstes intos flames… See how both mine make sense?

The NHTSA did four original tests to simulate a severe crash. In two tests, there was no fire at the time of the crash, but later the damaged Volt’s battery caught on fire in storage due to fluid leaks. In another test, the battery caught on fire at the time of the crash, but only after it was flipped 180 degrees to simulate a rollover. In the fourth test, the battery never caught on fire. So, the original non-reinforced battery compartment only caught fire quickly when rolled over after a severe crash.

You could have bought 2 Saturns for 1 of these. Make the Saturn to run on methane and you have the best of both worlds. Should have never killed the Saturn. This never sell like they want.

Like the chose few who tried with the 70&80′s pickups; when polple have an agenda they all want to jump on the bandwagon. Ford has had their problems as well as chrysler and the lowly Fiat in the early years. Fiat could not get it rgiht then and shut down. Let the media get ahold of one incident and they balloon it out of proportion. I will admit that sometimes problems get overlooked in design. So they keep doing improvements.

Does the article headline mean there will be FEWER crashes, or that the crashes will be less “firey” (fiery)? Bad headline.

Does the headline mean that crashes will still be fiery, just not AS fiery? Or will there in fact be fewer fiery crashes?
