IIHS test reveals which vehicles sustain the greatest damage in low-speed accidents


Methodology
These 10 vehicles have the highest weighted average repair costs of all vehicles subjected to a series of 4 tests that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently developed to investigate vehicle bumpers. The tests are composed of front and rear full-width impacts at 6 mph and front and rear corner impacts at 3 mph to produce the kinds and amounts of damage that commonly occur in low-speed collisions. Each vehicle gets a rating of rating good, rating acceptable, rating marginal, and rating poor based on how costly the weighted average of all impact tests are. All dollar figures given are real world estimates of how much the damage would cost to repair, and it isn't pretty.
