The Insurance In- stitute for Highway Safety tested the seat and head- restraint combinations of 44 SUVs and 15 pickups. It ranked just six SUVs with a "Good" score, while none of the pickups received the highest rating. Only the seats in the Ford Freestyle, Honda Pilot , Jeep Grand Chero- kee, Land Rover LR3, / £\ Subaru Forester and ^ / VolvoXC90 earned the Insti- tute'shighest score of Good. The Institute rates the seat andhead-restraint combina- tions in two stages. It first does static measurements to determine the height and distance behind the back of the head. Restraints that receive Good or Acceptable scores on this part of the test are evaluated in a dynamic test with amovable platform that simulatesacollision and measures the forces to the neck of a crash test /4*\ dummy. \/ ¦ "* Camaro May Return ¦ General Motors may produce its Chevrolet Camaro concept. The car was one of the biggest hits of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit recently. The company acknowledged it , is on a short list of possible vehicles that could be added to the lineup of rear-wheel drive cars. GM J executives say that if the Camaro is produced it would have a V-6 engine as standard equipment 8 and at least one V-8 engine offered as an option. It would be priced similarly to the Ford Mustang. i GM will make its decision about the Camaro by this summer. .** tmm mm mm mm mm am mm mat MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM MM wm sawa asm sma | ~* Another Fuel Spike Gasoline pricescontinueto rise.
