Costly convertibles aren't always safest

Test scores released today by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found several affordable convertibles that offer better crash protection than their more expensive competitors, USA Today reports.
Conducting tests on 10 new midsize convertibles for the first time, the institute gave its top scores to two expensive convertibles — the 2007 Saab 9-3 and 2007 Volvo C70. Both vehicles, which start at nearly $40,000, received the highest scores on front, side-impact and rear crash protection tests.
