Giglish SnapReview:

Crash test scores are useful indicator of the safety of a vehicle in a crash. We would like to see safety indicators that also reflect the vehicle's ability to avoid a crash in the first place. Insurance cost comparisons and comparative loss information may be useful in gauging overall vehicle safety.
