Actually i'm curious where is the source of fund for the NCAP lab to buy car and conduct crash test. 

Not necessarily true la, maybe some people really like the outlook of the car leh? I'm actually a little partial to how it looks. What about those that live outside of Klang Valley, they won't necessarily as much choices as those of us in KL, so no choice but to buy T&H loh. Then there are those businesses that buy the car because it can offer better depreciation compared to other makes, so sell off also don't lose so much mah. Afterall, if you just buying it as a fleet car or to ferry customers around in the KL area, the car on its own is good enough la. At least it's safer than being ferried around in a Vios

Another real-life small-overlap collision.

I think this is a different situation. Full frontal with a pole. (Ahem.)

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has just awarded the Top Safety Pick+ designation to a number of new cars including the 2013 Lincoln MKZ, Volvo XC60, and the 2014 Mazda6. The 2013 Honda Civic coupe and sedan also received the institute’s highest ranking, making it the only model in the compact car segment to do so. Distinguishing the Civic from its competition is the “+” at the end. To earn it, cars much achieve a “Good” rating in at least four out of five tests, which include moderate overlap frontal crash, side impact, rollover, and rear end collisions, plus the new overlap front test (cars must earn at least an “acceptable” in the fifth test).
