Dear Diary,
I was watching tv today. saw this honda commercial that didn't make any sense at all. They were showing a honda with crash test dummies in it, and it was heading straight for this other dummy that was standing dumbly in the path of the car. When the car hit the dummy, these two technicians ran over to its mangled dummy body, I suppose to check it for injuries. As they were kneeling over it, a voice said something to the effect of "Honda is the only car manufacturer that researches how to protect pedestrians too" This is a nice idea and everything, but how much safer could they really make it be hit by a car? Not like they're going to pad the whole exterior of the chassis or something.
I can just imagine some absentminded teenager sitting in his hospital bed, telling his friends, "It looks bad, but luckily I got hit by a Honda, so I'll be fine. Thank god it wasn't a Toyota..."
Even if they do make it safer to get hit by an accord, last time i checked honda made some pretty substatial SUVs too. I can't see how they can make them all equally safe to get hit by, without making some significant structural changes.
Love,
Diana
