EURO MUSTANG CRASH TESTS AND THIS WEEK'S NEWS: WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers several automotive news items, with a significant focus on the Ford Mustang. The reviewer addresses concerns raised by European crash test results for the Mustang, which awarded it two out of five stars. However, the reviewer strongly refutes these findings, citing personal experience and a friend's severe accident where the Mustang provided excellent protection. The reviewer argues that European tests overemphasize autonomous safety features and lack the rigor of US IIHS tests, particularly the small overlap test, where the Mustang performed acceptably, only missing a top safety pick due to the lack of automatic braking and rear seat restraint issues. The reviewer concludes the Mustang is a very safe vehicle, especially the 2015 and newer models. The update also touches on other news, including Dodge Demon teasers, Ford GT specs, Lamborghini Huracan Performante details, Toyota Supra and BMW Z5 spy shots, new Mitsubishi and Subaru crossovers, Tesla's 100D model and Autopilot updates, and the Audi R8 Spyder pricing. A personal update includes the reviewer receiving gifted quarter window louvers for their Mustang.
