www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday August 8, 2007 - 25 Kia Sedona and Sorento win highest possible crash safety awards The 2007 Kia Sedona minivan and Sorento SUV both received "Good" ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for rear impact collisions. A "Good" is the highest possible rating given by IIHS and according to the institute represents the best protection for people of all sizes in a typical rear-end crash. IIHS bases their ratings of "Good," "Acceptable," "Marginal" or "Poor" on geometric measurements of head restraints and simulated crashes that, according to the IIHS, when combined assess how well people of different sizes would be protected in an average rear crash. According to IIHS injuries to the neck are the most commonly reported by victims of car crashes; the Sedona and Sorrento's standard active head restraints offer optimum and essential passenger neck and back support and protection. The 2007 Kia Sedona (shown) and Sorento have been awarded 'Good' Ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Nissan reveals van for the future Nissan has revealed a highly innovative small van concept at its Nissan Design Europe (NDE). Called NV200 and due to be given its worldwide debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in October, the concept turns conventional light commercial design inside out, literally. Its most striking feature is a storage pod, which extends from the van's load area when the vehicle is parked. As the pod is deployed, the now empty load bay is transformed into a mobile office. The NV200 was jointly developed by Nissan Design Center in Japan and NDE, located in Paddington, London. By having no pre-conceived ideas about what form NV200 should take, the team has developed a radical, futuristic, but entirely practical new concept. "A light commercial vehicle has a specific job to perform, but that's no reason to design a purely rational vehicle with no warmth. For NV200, function becomes the aesthetic. Our concept is a highly efficient tool but one with a human touch," said Shiro Nakamura, senior vice president and chief creative officer at Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. Although NV200 answers the specific needs of a professional underwater photographer with wet and dry storage zones in the pod for diving and camera equipment, the basic concept could be tailored to suit different customers. The pod is latched inside the load area when the van is being driven. But upon arrival at its destination, it slides out rearwards to allow easy access to the storage zones. As the pod is withdrawn from the van, the area left behind is transformed into a mobile office. The front passenger seat swivels backwards on a curved rail to face a computer table, which drops down from the side of the van. Now including valet pick-up** 2007 CLEAR THE LOT EVENT!
