WASHINGTON (AP) - Dozens of new cars and trucks, led by Ford
Motor Co. and its Volvo subsidiary, have made the insurance
industry's annual list of safest vehicles.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says for the 2009
model year, Ford and Volvo have 16 vehicles on the list, followed
by Honda with 13.
The awards bolster the case made by Ford CEO Alan Mulally
(muh-LAHL'-lee) in Washington last week when he testified along
with Big Three executives seeking massive government aid. He'd
argued that Ford had made significant strides.
Volkswagen and its Audi brand had nine vehicles on the list. GM
and Toyota each had eight.
