Camaro is the only car to achieve five star crash rating in every single test of the revised system.

Exactly what I want to hear when I am searching for a new 6k lb vehicle to replace the truck with!

Does the hatch come off for 5th wheel use?

It's not a hatch. So no 5th wheel. What gives?

Yeah, because under the old system the wall lost.

Have any other cars been tested? Isn't the revised version sort of optional?

Yes, a quick glance shows that several hundred 2011-2012MY cars have been tested. Most have 4 or 5 star ratings in several categories, but as stated above, 2012 Camaro Coupe is the first to get 5 stars across the board. The 2012 Mustang Coupe scored 4 stars overall, and 4 stars each in front and side impact, while scoring 5 stars in the rollover test. The 2012 Challenger has only been through the rollover test so far, and it scored 4 stars.

Here's a link to the new list for 2011-2012MY vehicles: http://www.safercar.gov/Vehicle+Shoppers/5-Star+Safety+Ratings/2011-Newer+Vehicles

The revised system was put in place because the old system had too many cars pulling down 5 star awards. So now, they revised it.
