Don't care still going to buy one. I don't rely on electronics to keep me safe on the road it's all about actually paying attention and driving defensively. I'm sure the new JL is safer than my JK. I'm also going to be changing all of these parameters by adding a bull bar, rear steel bar, solid steel rock rails, increasing the height via a lift. I'd love to see a 79 or 78 series Cruiser do this test and see how it performs. The people who love these tests hate real four wheel drives and want them off the roads altogether.

Australian auto experts were foaming at the mouth and screaming blue murder at FCA for engineering a poorly performing JL in crash testing. They haven't raised their heads at the latest Toyota Corolla issues. A car that can suddenly stop without warning, potentially at speed with a 22 wheeler bearing down behind it. Faulty CVT tranny. No mention yet about the class action against Toyota for a dodgy DPF on its most popular trucks and 4wds.... I feel my JK Wrangler is respectable when it comes to safety, and the JL even more so now that I read about the issues going on with other makes ... which have always been going on... and on....

They wouldn’t dare talk down Toyota, to many incentives offered. Hyundia realised this a few years back and got on the same bandwagon as Toyota which is why they get such raving reviews (but talk to cops about their Hyundai’s and their plastic steering components that snap off, along with their horrendous brakes in emergency situations). My new Hilux (2017) was the greatest heap I’ve had the displeasure of owning which is why I only had it for a few months, but interestingly it’s been all quiet out there about them, so good hearing there’s a class action with the DPF - it’s a shocker and if it was happening on a Jeep or Landrover, it would be on a Current Affair and 60 minutes!
