>>DO YOU THINK OUR CARS OF TODAY COULD PASS THESE TESTS ?
Sure, you want to put the Chrysler's drum brakes and skinny nylon tires up
against my car's 4 wheel disc brakes, low profile tires, 4 wheel ABS,
traction control, and stability control? Bring it on buddy. Prepare to
get your ass handed to you.
>>And after the rollover the doors still open
Yeah including the one that flew open during the rollover that ejected all
the back seat passengers, killing them. Also did you notice that besides
being a slow speed rollover, it was on soft dirt? Way to stack the deck
there Chrysler. Here let's compare to a real rollover test:

)
What to put your Airflow on that crash sled?
I love it when somebody comes up with the they don't build them like they
used to. My response is Thank God for that. While fun to look at, and
neat to tinker with, they were by comparison giant POS.
