ARLINGTON, VA - December 22, 2010: Sixty-six vehicles earn the Insurance Institute
for Highway Safety’s TOP SAFETY PICK award for 2011
including 40 cars, 25 SUVs, and a minivan. TOP SAFETY PICK recognizes
vehicles that do the best job of protecting people in front, side,
rollover, and rear crashes based on good ratings in Institute tests.
Winners also must have available electronic stability control, a crash
avoidance feature that significantly reduces crash risk. The ratings help
consumers pick vehicles that offer a higher level of protection than
federal safety standards require.
