In terms of impact testing, it's way more involved these days too. It was pretty simple back when the FG was crash tested. Now it's not just head on, but side impact, offset impact, higher speeds etc etc.
FG wouldn't pass the tests now. And it didn't have any of the passive safety tech like auto braking etc. Not that i'm really a fan of any of that stuff, but it serves a purpose.
