"In a side impact crash, the Maxima's driver might sustain rib fractures, internal injuries and a left leg fracture, the institute said. The Maxima starts at $27,500."

Rep Power: 346 ^^ They try to use production models so they get what someone else will drive, not pre-production models. Preproduction models are what magazine drivers and other people use for testing performance.

Rep Power: 336 a marginal rating isn't that bad.
If you watched the news report on it, they say the institute is happy that no car got a POOR rating.
Marginal doesn't equal death car.
