observations
1/ they don't show rear impact data, which is of course most relevant to 3rd row passengers. Even the latest test protocol examines only whiplash protection, not 3rd row crushing
2/ why the hell do they insist on red/yellow/green colour coding when about 1/3 of the male population has defective colour vision, and red/green is the most common form of that?!
That said, I have a lot of confidence in the strength of Land Rovers in general: years ago, I drove away from a rear impact in a D1 which left the other car (a Cavalier) looking like it had hit a telegraph pole, with the contents of the radiator pouring all over the road. I needed the brackets for the towing electrics straightening out...

...and I had a Toyota Corolla shunt into the back of me at about 50km/h a few weeks ago at traffic lights. Had my foot on the brake luckily so the rear end took the full force therefore. Result? A couple of clips needed to secure the plastic cover to the bumper- the Corolla's whole front end written off.
