Funny that they call it dangerous, then put this text with it:
"The high-performance S2000 convertible has stellar handling and accident avoidance, and gets a surprisingly good five-star rating in NHTSA's side-impact test, plus a top five-star mark for rollover risk. But side airbags aren't at all available on the little, low-riding roadster. "
So if it doesnt have side airbags, its unsafe.
Dont the 07s have side bags?

I'd like to think it's an almost decent day for the s2k. Almost half of the vehicles there are trucks and suv's; and they're ranked worse on the list than the s2k. You'd think that being in a large 4,000lb mass would be safer than being in a 2800lb convertible.
EDIT: Why aren't any other roadsters on the list? The s2k is maxed out on ratings, so what about the the Miata, Solstice, Z4, ect... are they 5 star as well?

I wish they'd put the reason WHY IT WAS DANGEROUS.
5 star rollover and SIDE IMPACT!
I could see if it was the demographic of drivers, but (like the 350z) that's not the car's fault.
