In their latest assessments, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has named the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class one of their Top Safety Picks for 2009.

The news comes after the IIHS examined the C-Class in three categories – frontal offset, side impact and rear crash protection/head restraint – after which the sedan achieved top marks of "Good" in each.

In addition to the IIHS award, the Mercedes C-Class was also awarded five stars in the Euro NCAP (the European New Car Assessment Programme), making it one of the safest cars on the market.

And Acura is the only car company to have all its cars receive the top safety pick award.

Enough already Chuck.

The G37 is a great car, but it is not the SUPERcar you consistently hype it to be. Just enjoy driving a nice sports coupe with a 6MT -- you don't have to prove anything and you aren't getting paid by Infiniti for all your postings. Just chill.

Seriously, what is wrong with you? The IIHS tests these cars, not you. They know when a car is the safest. The G37 isn't the most beautiful car in the world, it isn't the fastest, it isn't the most luxurious, it isn't the most fun, it isn't the best value. It's the best car for you, so stop trying to sell it to us.

Well, security is one of the reasons that makes MB heavier than most of the other cars, (beside the gadgets).

Hey, you can't crash it if it's always in the shop!
