Whether you wore elbow- and knee-pads, used hand signals, and had a caution flag while riding your tricycle as a 5-year-old or have precious cargo like a spouse and kids to care for as a 35 (45, 55, 65…)-year-old, we have great news for you: The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has made its requirements for earning a “Top Safety Pick +” classification more stringent.
That’s right, millennials. Need a car for two months? A year? Some indeterminate amount of time while you do your daily grind waiting to move or get a job or get into grad school?

Want more joy? More vitality? More warmth? We would recommend investing in faith, family, and friendships. Mercedes-Benz would recommend the S-Class. featuring the world's first ENERGIZING comfort control system.
