I read in the news about the new Laguna, the Renault plans to set a new benchmark with this car as well as with the predecessor and therefore wants to get the upcoming 6th star in the EuroNCAP. I now found at least a few infos in a PDF:http://www.zentec.de/…/CRH_SafetyLectures2007.pdf In the future there should be an additional rear impact, which (similar to Whisplash) should test the risks when impacting from behind. For this there should then be a new star, which one from 40 In addition, the frontal and side crashes should be refined. I find a very good thing, since at least in the higher classes only 5* are awarded and an extension to the Whisplash test was often demanded here
