    Just what did the insurance institute think was going to happen when they started demanding safer vehicles.
    The fact is every mufacturer is looking to get the instituets approvial.
    Then the Insurance institute demands better safety at any cost which everyone should know will cost more to repair.
    Then when the price is higher than they think it should they cry about it.
    Can’t do all the R&D and manafacturing without increases in cost to someone.
