Convertible Safety?

How come I can't find and crash test or rollover ratings for the 6th gen Convertible?

Because NHTSA and IIHS don’t test convertibles.

Because it’s the same reason you also don’t see rollover tests for motorcycles.

That was a crazy accident! It sounded like he flipped but landed on the wheels. It's very unfortunate for the poor victims in the other car. There's a difference between driving fast and driving stupid.

The Camaro didn’t flip. It was airborne spinning around its axis, wheels always facing down.
