US: 2014 Mirage IIHS crash test results (videos, pictures)

I'd be willing to bet that NHTSA is going to give the Mirage 5/5 stars.

No doubt the Mirage is the safe car.

I personally don't give much weight to IIHS' results, from their history & other criticism:

"The IIHS has come under scrutiny on several occasions since the 1980s over what some consider unfair bias against certain vehicle types ... critics ... have suggested that the IIHS sometimes seeks to influence legislation aimed at making insurance companies more profitable, rather than benefitting the public interest ... testing was criticized as unrealistic ... skew the crash data in favor of its argument"

The Mirage is extremely safe. The small overlap is an unfair test; highly improbable, and it's something manufacturers haven't designed cars to withstand.
