Small SUV Crashopalooza: Detroit Loses, Dykes Win

SUVs are usually regarded as safer than small cars. However, "most of the small SUVs tested for safety in crashes did not fare well in more stringent tests" performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), Reuters says. "US small SUVs scored badly," writes the wire. Top honors took a trucklet that, according to the Urban Dictionary, is "driven by post-menopausal lesbians:" The Subaru Forester.

The Mitsubishi Outlander Sport received an "acceptable" rating on the overlap test, and made second. The Forester and the Outlander were the only small SUVs to be awarded the IHS "Top Safety Pick+." The best-rated Detroit trucklet is the Buick Encore on place 6 with a poor Small Overlap rating. The Jeep Wrangler brings up the rear with a truly mediocre showing. Boo, hiss, Detroit – pussy-whipped by a Japanese transgender crossover that is also known as a "vag-wag?" PS: Before you start to tar and feather me for Detroit bashing LGBT discrimination, please be notified that according to the all-knowing Wikipedia, the term "dyke" originated "as a derogatory label for a masculine woman, and this usage still exists." Shame on them. "However, some persons attempt to use it in a manner that they see as positive, or as a neutral synonym for lesbian," and those persons include the Schmitts. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
