" For the second time in five years, Chinese automaker Jiangling Motors Corporation has flunked an important test. The company&amp;#039;s mid-size CV9 minivan recently received 2 stars out of a possible 5 due its poor performance during Euro NCAP safety tests. Out of fourteen vehicles tested, the Chinese-built CV9 was the only one to record such a low score. In its official press release, Euro NCAP stated the CV9 &amp;quot;was limited to a two star rating by its overall performance although it came close to meeting the three star threshold for adult occupant protection.&amp;quot; The report also noted that in comparison to similar vehicles, the CV9 is &amp;quot;poorly equipped, lacking a side protection airbag, a head protection device and electronic stability control.&amp;quot; Back in 2005, Jiangling made similar headlines for all the wrong reasons when the company&amp;#039;s Landwind sport-utility (a re-badged version of the Isuzu Rodeo SUV sold from 1998-2004 in the U.S.) performed poorly during German crash tests. Dramatic video of the Landwind buckling against a crash barrier forced Jiangling into damage control and left consumer confidence in the brand in tatters.
