Subaru Outback and Legacy get Safest Ride stamp from IIHS
The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety or IIHS has given the Subaru 2010 Legacy and 2010 Outback as the safest cars consumers can have based on their crash test results.
The facelift given to the 2010 Outback is better than the shape of the Legacy, but some of the design details are not appreciated by Subaru enthusiasts. There are more things to rejoice for other than good looks it seems, and being best in fuel mileage and being the Top Safety Pick of IIHS are things to be proud of.
To be rated as the Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must pass with flying colors the crash testing of the IIHS which will subject the car to simulated collisions from the rear, side, and front. The vehicle must also have an excellent electronic control for stability.
Subaru celebrates the feat because the recognition from the IIHS comes with vehicles that are lighter or just about the same poundage as previous Subie models.
The Japanese car maker executives pay tribute to their designers and engineers for the Top Safety Pick achievement from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. They see it as proof that they are on the right path in producing not only fun and nice looking cars but safe rides for their consumers.
