Vehicle Passive Safety - I am a Wimp

[JCL12]

Hello everyone. I have always been very curious about something - I have never seen evidence of porsche autos being rated by the NHTSA for crash resistance. In fact, I have never really seen any ratings on the true passive safety and impact protection a boxster provides.

For most cars (ranging from the el-cheapo civic to an expensive BMW), I can find crash test data. Why does porsche not subject these cars to any testing? Further, from a passive perspective, how safe really are our cars?

I have to assume that it is because the cars would perform poorly due to the small size, low ride height, and for many porches on the road, a lack of roof.

Thoughts and comments?

PS - my other car (civic) has a lower curb weight and less airbags, yet it was rated for safety and did fine! What is going on here!
