Safety Ratings? Where do we stand?

I'm looking for crash data on the G35 coupe? Any help?

Re: Safety Ratings? Where do we stand?

There was also another test for damage from 5mph collisions, testing the bumpers, and it got a rating of poor:

Given the excellent ratings in the real crash tests, I'll put up with the crappy bumpers and just make sure I don't back into anything.

take it from someone who's been in a high impact with the coupe.. that thing is built very well.. the passengers are protected like nothing else.. i came out with only a bruised hand, nothing else.. no neck pains no nothing.. forget about the lousy 5mph tests..

Yea unless a stupid sorority girl tries to parallel park in the smallest spot known to man, and your car happens to be one of the 2 cars creating this spot. Sorry to vent; my car got backed into last weekend by some ditsy girl while I was at a friend's house. The thing that really pisses me off is that after she got her car in there (and hit my car doing it), there was less than a foot between her car and mine, and about the same between her car and the other car. So I'm pretty sure the world's best parallel parker couldn't have pulled this one off, let alone an absolute idiot of a college girl. This makes 3 times my car has been hit/shot in like 8 months...at the rate I'm going, I'll have a completely new paint job within a year.
