Anyone know if NHTSAA tested the G37 for crash ratings yet??

Nope, I kinda took a leap of faith by assuming it'd hold up well. I just loved the car so much.

Several members have gotten into nasty accidents here and were able to post the stories/pictures of it. If they were able to come here and tell their story, then I'm sure the crash ratings are good.

A new Civic has 5 stars in every crash category (4 in rollover), so anything less for the twice as expensive G would be embarrassing and unacceptable. I'm pretty sure it should rate 5 as well; we should know soon enough, no? Later.

crash rating was one of he worst
out car is open body frame.. so when our G got Hit it will shatter
we will have to spend alot of money for minor accident...

^^Well the cost of the crash is one of the worst BUT as far as being a lifesaving vehicle it should be one of the highest. The G35-37 does have a high cost per accident rating, BUT then again the G35 design, I believe, has been in the top 5 for safety as far as saving lives. Who cares how much damage is done to the car? If you survive with no to little injuries then that is what matters.

they for sure crashed it. they have to crash them and be approved in order to sell them here. Just need to find the results

All manufacturers crash their cars, but he's probably talking about the more unbiased insurance institute crashes, which are NOT required to sell the car in the US. They don't crash test all cars, and the ones they do are a while after they come out; the more sales, the sooner it's done. Later.

I've searched and searched online and I believe NHTSA only crash tested the 08' sedan. It was 5 stars front crash and 4 stars side impact if I recall correctly. Above average as far as safety goes. But it ranks worst when it comes to the cost of repairing it.

Anyways, it was good enough for my dad to approve of the car. Although I will be paying for it myself.
Hopefully, I'll have it by summer.

In my accident I felt very well protected. The driver airbag did deploy. Overall the repair costs were ridiculous, but that's what insurance is for. I learned my lesson I hope.
