    Yep.

    The Euro tests are getting quite strict: A car can't earn 5 stars anymore unless it's got new features like rear seatbelt warnings, excess speed warnings, etc.

    Oh, and it's not a datsun, but it might as well be. Nissan Tsuru. Looks like an early 90's sentra but is brand new.
    20 year old car, brand new! Mexico's got a habit of doing that -- eg. the "new" original VW Beetle was available until not too long ago.

    And have you seen they're testing for a new "minimal" frontal offset crashe in the U.S.? I think the standard test is 40% overlap. The new one is just 25% overlap. Plenty of new cars are failing that one pretty spectacularly.
