Interesting and quite a few points here which are so far wide of the post a telescope is needed.
Let’s bring some perspective.
No one is buying 1920s and 1930s cars as an every day run around for the family, these are very rare these days and are rolled out for special occasions rather than a trip to the shops. What they are certainly not is a brand new car which is what fiat are selling in the punto.
New designs do pass the tests better, they also sell better, the punto has been so flogged to death over the last 12years that hardly anyone buys them these days, Fiat can sell a dozen or more pandas for the effort it takes to shift a punto.
The punto is cheap but really compared to other cars in the sector and given how long it’s been since any significant revamp, it’s not that cheap, people will know what they are buying but see my point above, no one is buying them.
The rest of your post seems to be ranting that the press didn’t like the bravo and so anything they say is rubbish, except NCAP are not the press or the media, what they do is crash cars and analyse the data, they are not funded by manufacturers and they go out and source the cars that they crash themself from the available market so there are no chances that the manufacturers can have any influence over the testing or put any presssure on by throttling the funding. So you can rant about the press if you like and many people do but NCap are not the press.
The bit about pollution cheaters is a great idea, I’m guessing from this however that you’re unaware that Fiat have also been named as cheating emissions in a fairly big way, and that in real world testing the cars you can buy from the fiat garage down the road, have some of the worst real world figures compared to the manufacturer claimed figures. In the case of the 500x diesel, 14 times more NOX than the permitted figures under euro6 which the car is supposed to adhere to.
You can look at all the crashed cars you like, the extent of the damage to a car tells you nothing about the out come of the crash the injuries received or indeed the speed of the impact, what might look ok might have been a 10mph bump and something horrific may have been a +100mph crash through a house.
SB1500 I suspect you’ll be had pressed to prove any correlation between VW emissions and any persons illness. Look at the recent wild fires in California, that’s likely to have had literally a million times more impact on the environment in the local area, than a few old VW jettas
