    The Volvo XC90 earned a 4 star rating in the new dynamic track rollover
    tests. The 4 star rating was the highest rating earned in the report
    released yesterday. The new test uses a so-called "fishhook" maneuver ­
    a series of abrupt turns at varying speeds. A computerized steering
    system is used in each test vehicle to maintain objectivity.

    The worst vehicle was a Ford Explorer, what a surprise ;)
