I actually agree and have agreed ever since I saw my first IIHS test that their side impact tests are flawed. They don't reflect real world conditions. Also, think who they are working for: INSURANCE. It is in their best interest to find cars to be unsafe because then the insurance companies can charge more for your insurance since you are more likely to get hurt.
Congress should mandate that insurance companies use NHTSA tests, which are more like real world conditions and are unbiased, when they determine the safety level and thus the premiums on car insurance. BTW, NHTSA test for the Fusion came out as a 4 star front for driver and passenger and 4 star side for front and rear. The Fusion got 5 stars front side impact with the side airbags.
