But did you use 30% less parts than your predecessor..?
I feel like I'm waaaaay less efficient than my predecessors
It's called progress.
Things going well for FCA at the crash tests again

Quick ready reckoner, if the car ends up upside down during a crash test it's probably not good...especially if it's not a roll over test.

Considering that this is an old design, still with a rigid chassis, the passenger cell stood up quite well.
With it falling over, all that energy has to go somewhere and with large wheels and a high centre of gravity, up is a likely direction.
It is a 'lifestyle' vehicle, the same people will continue to buy it.
I left YouTube running and it then went to the Toyota Tundra pickup. I think that fared much worse, despite not falling over.
Look on the bright side, every one used for crash testing is one less to share the roads with.

May well be yes, it could a revised version looking at the model year.
Either way, physics happened and demonstrated why farm machinery is not a good choice for a daily driver.
in this case 2, it happened on the first test, they thought it must be a fluke or unlucky and it then did exactly the same thing again second time out.

Loads of chinook helicopters been flying over all day with something hanging underneath. can't see what it is hanging. Years ago they had guns hanging hope its not that again.
Lotus cars are using their machines to cut huge amounts fabric to make scrubs then will get it sent out to anyone who wants to stitch it as they don’t have enough staff and machines to make them once they have cut them. Might be of interest to your community group

Rotate the pictures in a proper app and save the modified file. Failing that, hold the phone with home button at bottom or to the right.
Thanks..
As I said.
