Consumer Reports used to employ a "bumper basher" battering ram to simulate a 5 MPH impact, and I'm pretty sure the SVX passed the test without damage. Of course, that 5 MPH bumper standard was relaxed but the Feds under pressure from Detroit. I don't think the magazine bothers with this test any longer, because all cars now fail.
