If you are in the market for a new car, make sure you check out the Ford Specials going on. It is summer time sales, and dealers are eager to move out their 2010 inventory as the 2011 models roll in. Thus, you can get a great price and usually great financing rates as well. Plus, Ford has more Top Safety Pick awards for their 2010 line up than any other auto maker! The VW Specials make sense because Volkswagen has four Top Safety Pick awards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, but Ford now has 11 under their belt! That even includes the new roof strength rollover test that was implemented partially into 2010. If you don't find a safe car you like at Ford, some of the Reading Dodge line up offers great incentives you might want to check out.
The models that were recently put back on the list are the Ford Fusion, Ford Fusion Hybrid, Ford Flex, Mercury Milan, Mercury Milan Hybrid, Lincoln MKZ, and Lincoln MKT. These vehicles had previously been awarded Top Safety Pick for 2010, but had to be re-evaluated for the roof test. So, in order to qualify as a Top Safety Pick, the Flex had to have been built after January 2010. Your Lincoln MKT needs to have been built following March 2010. The remaining models mentioned need to have been built following April 2010. There should be documentation of your car's manufacture date, but ask the dealership if you have questions.
Ford uses high strength steel in crucial crash areas to make sure their passengers are safe. Their SPACE architecture uses a single piece of steel that runs the width of the car on the floor up to the rocker panels to give additional protection in the event of a side impact crash. Plus, almost the entire Ford line up is built with Trinity Front Crash Body Architecture, which uses strong and stiff exterior structures to absorb the energy from a crash and direct it away from the passenger cabin.
