Oh fair enough, just quite silly though IMO to classify that as a test lol. -

As a mechanical sympathiser, that "Really HARD tests" video just about made me cry. Poor VeeDubs!
A friend of mine used to work as a test engineer at Mitsubishi, doing this sort of thing to Magnas all day long. He had a few interesting stories, such as when he tested the model's tolerance to repeated high-speed braking - until the pads disintegrated and the calipers fused to the rotors. Apparently he could get a car to that state in well under 10 minutes.

It would be interesting to find out how much of the "quality perception problem" stems from malfunctioning door seals/locking mechanisms etc after stocky sales blokes slam the crap out of them and doors that misalign after numerous instances of stocky sales blokes jumping up and down on them ...Originally posted by Corey_R View PostComment

I'd hate to be driving any of these vehicles afterwards - in my experience, getting a car airborne in a big way does nothing for it.Originally posted by Ryan_R View Post

I guess it's a bunch of pre-production testing. The flying van was ace though
