To me this seems sensible (on paper), but how it works in real life - I don't know. The Euroncap results are tough and are about to get tougher. Would be interesting to see a host of Chinese cars put through their paces in these tests, if only the manuacturers would allow this.

Is performance similar no matter where the test takes place? Also, how does this Euro NCAP standard compare to similar testing in the US...(thinking back to the hatchback Aveo article I just read and the discrepancy between the test results on that vehicle.)
