At least in Europe. Every time a manufacturer gets 5 stars in ENCap they blow their own trumpet. It's an old sales gimmick which works time and time again, especially if the home grown opposition are only getting 2 or 3 stars in CNcap. Safety sells these days. At least in Europe.

Seems as if they're trying to emphasise the safety issue.

Out of curiosity have they crashed the MG7 or the Roewe 750 yet? To see if they're building them as well as the original MG/Rover ones (they got 4 stars in EuroNCAP or 5 if they had head airbags).
