    DETROIT, May 5 (Reuters) - Only three 2004 model year sport utility vehicles
    earned perfect scores in the latest series of U.S. government frontal and
    side-impact crash tests, federal safety regulators said on Wednesday.

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the Infiniti FX,
    Saturn Vue and Toyota Highlander all got five out of a possible five stars
    for protection of their occupants against serious injury in the closely
    watched tests.
    The redesigned Dodge Durango also won a perfect rating in the frontal crash
    test, in which vehicles are pulled into a fixed barrier at 35 miles per
    hour. But side-impact tests were not conducted on the Durango, NHTSA said.

    Vehicles scoring poorly in the frontal tests were all from General Motors
    Corp. (NYSE:GM - News). They included the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick
    Rainier, GMC Envoy and GMC Envoy XUV, Isuzu Ascender, Oldsmobile Bravada,
    which are built off the same platform or chassis. All got a lowly three-star
    rating for protection of front seat positions in a crash.

    The Cadillac SRX and Toyota RAV both got four-star ratings in the frontal
    crash tests, NHTSA said.

    to live with Honor and Chivalry of days gone by
    and fly through the net at the speed of light.
