Default Why all the fuss about 99 crash test results?

I was under the impression that the 2002 frame was redesigned. The figure I heard was 40% more rigid.

Perhaps AOA doesnt care, but maybe there is some German engineer out there who wants to save face, and get his 2002 retested against the Merc.

2002 A6 Avant

BTW - wife and kids are in a ML

AFAIK, there was no frame design change in 2002 on the A6.

Quite sure I read it somewhere last year - doesnt mean it was true, but it was in print
