That's cool and all, but it would be a lot more impressive if it were the Good Design Award from Italy.

"Good," not "Great."

Well, you don't need "Great" if "Good" tops the scale compared to "Bad" and "Mediocre", right?

Hey, IIHS top rating is "Good" too.

I don't know. It sounds pretty close to an "A-" to me. In Asian cultures that pretty much means you should kill yourself.
