[[File:V04581P004.jpg|thumb|Aftermath of a compatibility test involving a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 and a 1997 Honda Accord.]]'''Crash incompatibility''', '''crash compatibility''', '''vehicle incompatibility''', and '''vehicle compatibility''' are terms in the [[automobile]] [[crash test]]ing industry.  They refer to the tendency of some vehicles to inflict more damage on another vehicle (the "crash partner vehicle") in two-car crashes.  Vehicle ''incompatibility'' is said to lead to more dangerous, fatal crashes, while ''compatibility'' can prevent injury in otherwise comparable crashes.
