Swerving to dodge a bowling ball is one thing. Maintaining control and safely returning to your lane is another. That's why in AMCI's tests measuring a vehicle's ability to abruptly change course, avoid an obstacle and immediately resume its original trajectory, our Galant GTS didn't just outclass the Toyota Camry XLE V6 and the Accord EX V6. It left them staring at its taillights.

Yeah, read that again. I'll wait...
Did you catch it?
Here's what bothers me: "That's why in AMCI's tests measuring a vehicle's ability to abruptly change course, ..."
"Who is AMCI" you ask? AMCI is the marketing firm that made the commercial we saw on the Super Bowl. You know, the one with the two sedans chasing the two box trucks while men throw assorted items into the sedans' paths. Yeah, that one. It is a pretty cool commercial, but I digress. The real issue here, is what was AMCI doing performing safety testing? Why are they billing it as
actual safety testing?
Was the Mitsubishi (AMCI's client) going to actually *underperform* in the testing? I doubt it.
Isn't there some sort of ethical problem with this?
