    your going to tell me that we have never had a child dummy. i think this is a little dumb since we have strived to make a car safe for everyone, including infants in child seats. and in fact some companies, have created a built in booster seat and seat straps for the infant seat. so i am so confused as we spend more money on the item – that should have already been made. next thing they’ll want to make is a dummy whom is pregnant? yea, spend more money on tests. um…next we will add a dummy of pets that might be in the car. oh we shud have had that too right? so in reality, we just keep spending money on things that should have already been made. um….and so whom is funding the testing? that means if it is the federal government – means more taxpayers dollars going out!

    Ford is groping for something positive to say about itself. Woodchuck is right; why keep re-tilling the same soil. The death spiral continues for U.S. automakers and rightfully so. They have lagged far behind foreign design and engineering and have catered to to unions to their own detriment. It won’d be long until Ford, GM, and Chrysler are distant memories.

    Why waste money on dummies. We should just use the inmates on death row. What better way to make their lives useful to the rest of us. Plus, it will solve two problems at once. Give us accurate injury reports and reduce prison overcrowding.

    that wud be interesting. some inmates are used to for medical tests, after they sign a waiver. but, i bet it won’t happen.

    they might want a piece of paper, saying after three times of doing these tests as dummies, i am allowed to go free. only after they are medically fit to return to society.

    seriously, i don’t think it will ever happen.
