Safest cars in the world.

I’m always talking about how much I love my Audi.  One point I often make when people ask me about it is safety.  I feel safe knowing that my car was designed to protect me and my passengers.

So far this year the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has given four cars their “Double Best Pick” – meaning perfect scores in both front and side-impact crash testing.  Two of them were Audis.  From CNN.com:

Only four vehicles have earned the “Double best pick” rating from the Institute: Audi A4, Audi A6, the Saab 9-3 and the Toyota RAV4 with optional side airbags.

I’m awaiting their test of the A3, but I expect it will live up to its bretheren.
