“Subaru was one of the manufacturers that last year asked us to delay side testing because of vehicle design changes that were in progress.

Adrian Lund
“This delay affords us the opportunity to expand testing, market participant training and practice, and system tuning.”
Nick Brown
“Delay always breeds danger and to protract a great design is often to ruin it.”
