== Consumer response == * In 1998 the [[Rover Metro#Rover 100|Rover 100]] received a one-star Adult Occupant Rating in [[EuroNCAP]] crash tests; sales promptly collapsed and the 18-year-old design was quickly scrapped. * In 2005 the [[Daewoo Kalos]] made news in Europe and Australia by scoring only two stars in its crash test, resulting in lower sales and demonstrating the influence of vehicle crashworthiness on a model's success in the [[marketplace]]. The result for [[Holden]] in Australia, who retailed the Kalos under the [[Holden Barina]] name, resulted in a considerable amount of negative [[publicity]], with the managing director of Holden forced to publicly defend the vehicle.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.caradvice.com.au/250/holden-barina-2006-poor-safety-slows-sales/ | title = Holden Barina 2006 Poor Safety Slows Sales | publisher= CarAdvice | first=Alborz | last=Fallah | date = 14 June 2006}}</ref> * The second generation [[Isuzu Trooper]] (1995β1997) models were rated "Not Acceptable" by ''[[Consumer Reports]]'' for their tendency to ''roll over'' during testing.
