The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has released the list of winners that has won the top safety pick awards for 2007. In total, there are 13 winners, which includes 4 cars, 7 SUV’s, and 2 minivans. Honda/Acura and Subaru had the most awards of the list. And to note, there aren’t any American brands on the list either.
This year, SUV’s are now qualified for entry, however, trucks are still not being considered due to the fact that IIHS has not begun to test their side crash capabilities. American vehicles such as the Ford Five Hundred would have been considered only if it were to come with electronic stability control as standard. Some vehicles, such as many Toyota vehicles, could have won the award if only the vehicles had better seat/head restraints.
Check out the list of winners and the list of should-be winners if their head restraints were also rated well.

Introducing the new way to help slow down traffic. This video shows how the phrase, “Sex Sells” actually turns into play. Although this may be a good idea, what about the kids riding in the backseat? And what will the majority of women drivers feel?
However, instead of improving traffic in Denmark, it’s actually creating traffic jams. Oh, men and their needs for females. Mm… 
Watch the video at your own discretion.

I was surfing on AutoBlog.com and I found the topic about Hertz, a rental car company, releasing supposedly “Green” cars that are fuel-efficient.
Click here to view the Green Collection.
On the list were:
Toyota Camry (Regular)
Ford Fusion
Buick LaCrosse
Hyundai Sonata
Where is the Toyota Prius? Camry Hybrid? or even the Honda Civic Hybrid? Although most of the vehicles listed achieve 28 MPG, it highly depends on where you drive and how you drive them. All of the cars are mid-size sedans, but I’d like to see some compacts or even hybrid SUV’s to make the best impression of “Green” vehicles.
But I guess these cars are harder to maintain due to the batteries, therefore, there must be more to worry about. Although these rental cars offer a good deal, there are better choices of vehicles out there, yet the rental car companies aren’t taking the full advantage of them.
