Kia Optima beats Infiniti G35 and Chevy Malibu in new IIHS test


Tests undertaken by America’s Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) reveal that a number of popular 2008-model midsized sedans have shown marked improvements in their side-impact safety ratings.

However, the news isn’t all good as the majority of cars tested saw only marginal improvements in their rear-crash results, a segment which costs the insurance industry around $8.5 billion every year.
