There are worse cars but thats pretty poor. Watch where that front wheel goes, now think of the footwell space.

The Sterring column also fails to collapse and actually comes up and into the drivers face.

Few otyhers would back me up but going to that as a real accdient:

Definately severe leg injuries, probobly lower and upper, pelvic injuries, serious head and chest injuries and that assumes its not fatal.

I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

I'd reckon that's about right

I don't want to be the 're-post police' but we did cover this one last year...

http://forums.mud-club.com/viewtopic.php?t=12106&highlight=landwind

...which, oddly, has a video of the same crash test but from a different angle.

http://www.zippyvideos.com/8953675331215216/front_seite_landwind/

Two videos on the Net? Clearly the people at the German safety test place don't like the Landwind.

Now for the really scary stuff....what happens when a lorry hits a line of standing cars.

Funny how the treehugger's favourite just fell apart.  Seperate chassis with a tinfoil top.

Shame to see the Consul Granada get mashed though, Guv.

Yup it is the Frontera styling  not the running gear or chassi , I have heard there could be a breach of copyright ?? on the styling by GM .

China are wanting to get into the european market big time and this is just a rushed and botched attempt to do so.
From what Ive read, this car is going back to the factory for reassement  :shock: , still wouldnt have one  :lol:
