Several automakers only put the engine size on there, but not any output data. I guess they don't want the world to know that their V6 engines are weaker than a set of Honda 4-cylinders.

not want people to know how safe or unsafe a car is? :screwy: a lot of people (i'm guessing most people) don't regularly read car magazines, read consumer reports, surf auto enthusiast websites, etc. when the only thing the average joe has to go on is TV commercials, it can only help people in deciding what car to buy.
shoppers checking out vehicle safety rankings find little help in showrooms
if it's not directly related to safety, fuel efficiency or the environment, i say it can be left off. but this is obviously a safety thing. if you read the article, you'd also see that the bill would give states more money to improve roads, and the NHTSA more money to conduct the crash tests. i really don't see anything wrong with this, other than that it may be too costly
