David Caldwell of Chevrolet:
"The car is amazingly strong" says Caldwell of the 2005 convertible.
"The vehicle structure comes mainly from the center tunnel, which is intgral to the chassis. The aluminum windshield frame is very strong and, God forbid, if the car were involved in a rollover, the windshield frame would support the vehicle. We do not need the additional pyrotechniques found in other cars where a rollbar pops out of the back or some other safety system is required."
