That’s a stupid comparison. Those cars are several generations appart. At least 20 years, design and technology wise. Why not compare a car to a horse trailer?

This car would be perfect for mexico. It has 2 airbags,side impact protection and 3 point seatbelts. It has a 1.9L Turbo engine built to run on 80 octane so its perfect.
It’s a volvo 460 Turbo.
Technically this car could pass euro ncap with 3 stars today

So does Indonesia… (not being offensive, but that’s what I saw in my country…)

Sure, because comparing a 1991 Nissan Sentra’s safety against a 2015 car one is totally fair.
