I got an email from IIHS that there will be a segment on this Sunday's
Dateline regarding Midsize Crash tests. Nothing on their website, not much
info on NBC's. The only comment about '06 Sonata on IIHS is "Hyundai Sonata
redesigned for 2006; to be tested in late 2005. 2006 Kia Optima has not yet
been redesigned; 2005 model's ratings carry over to 2006." Will it be on
this show???? I don't know. But, it might be. They probably don't let the
cat out of the bag early.

Well, the Sonata ratings are out.

How come the Toyota Camry rates higher with a marginal rear end crash rating
than the Sonata does with no marginal rating?
