[V8] A bit OT - but certainly a safety concern - but not with the V8

[Ingo Rautenberg]

It seems that the Chinese are selling their first SUV in Europe. And just
recently revealed it at the Frankfurt Auto Show.  Apparently they shouldn't
have bothered:

Here's the page of videoclips (not for the squeemish -- crash test dummies
were killed in this test) from ADAC (Like AAA here):
First four clips are for the Landwind

Oh, did I mention it got ZERO stars for crash safety.  Zip, nada, goose
eggs.  Unbelievable.
