Yeah, but how did the rating improve? The v-6 being 20 lbs lighter and the standard FE4 suspension are the only signifigant changes, the body is the same.

It could have been an alteration in the test....a fluke in the original test car...or maybe the used a stronger metal somewhere vital...

To by perfectly honest, I can't say that I care how! As long as it's 5-all around...nobody can complain about that 1-star down on one side, anymore!

I love that. I just hope my 2011 would hold up just as well if necessary.

I would think so since they really haven't changed the body frames for 2012- just the engine (V6), suspension (V8) and cosmetic changes. Should be almost identical.
