List Of 2007's Least-safe New Cars

[Hola]

Here's a list of 2007's least-safe new cars, according to insurance industry data:

Ford Focus

Mazda3

Saturn Ion

Suzuki Aerio

Suzuki Forenza

Toyota Corolla

Chevrolet Cobalt

Also on the roster: Chevrolet's Cobalt four-door, which does better with side airbags, but without them gets some "poor" crash-test ratings; Ford Motor's (F, news, msgs) snappy Focus four-door and Mazda's Mazda3 four-door, for which there are no IIHS crash-test ratings with side airbags; Saturn's Ion four-door, which has poor ratings with or without optional side airbags; and Suzuki Motor's Aerio and Forenza four-doors, which have standard airbags but still get poor side crash-test scores.

Many -- if not most -- new cars come a host of safety features: anti-lock brakes, which can preserve steering control and reduce stopping distances; traction- and stability-control systems, which increase control and stability on slippery surfaces; and daytime running lights, which help you see better and make you more visible to other drivers. Automakers insert higher-strength steel into collision-prone sections. They design seats, head restraints and bumpers to shield occupants in crashes.
