Sure, but reaction time is purely driver-dependent and there's no objective way to measure distraction level. Neither one is a good means of comparing cars to each other.

a good old-fashioned slolom test is probably the best objective test of "accident avoidance" or maybe the 60-0...

on another note, HOW FREAKING LAME IS THIS AD?!?!?!?

They hype it all up on tv and I went to the website expecting to see some kinda payoff, and the camry driver just pulls over. What a cop out.

They should have had the Camry crash into the old Sentra while the Galant drives under the other one as it's in mid air, F&F style.

It's not so bad if you see the whole thing on the website like that, but they way they show it on tv they cut it right when they drop the cars onto the freeway and then tell you to go to the website, building it up to some huge climax. So you go to the website and all you get to see is the camry pulling over :down:
