Car safety.... in india
I saw the Tata Nano tests, earlier. You'd be safer in a bread bin on wheels.... 
Jesus that nano just folded up! I'ld be safer in a cardboard box I reckon

Reminds me of a certain Italian car...
Shame on VW selling a "no airbag" Polo though. Its bad enough to have poor crash results in something designed from the outset to be super cheap but to actually take a reasonably good car and then remove safety features is criminal.
Whilst these results are shocking, you do have to consider the alternative transport which people can afford in India.
I was shocked when I watched a programme showing some guys changing a lorry wheel in the middle of the road with everything whizzing past all around.
The lorry was propped up on bits of wood (jacked up using planks etc).
In another part, a similar thing but at night - with no lights showing

Wow I always thought they were sturdy little motors
I T-boned a Peugeot 405 in mine and although the car was a mess I was unhurt thankfully
Disappointing but not surprising considering VW make you pay extra for curtain airbags for rear passengers in the UK on all cars, so they can advertise having side airbags but its only for front seat passengers.
Anything to make people extra over the standard car...just as well they have competition and safety regs over here otherwise glass would be a cost option.

Your strongest point hit its weakest though.
Well it kept me nice and safe and it held up quite well given that i hit the pug while he was doing about 45 mph and I was doing 15 mph. I was most impressed
