<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/">Ford</a> has been testing its upcoming <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/focus">2012 Focus</a> extensively, and it's already put the compact through 12,000 crashes in both the virtual and real worlds. Ford says that the Focus features advanced restraint systems as well as next-generation airbags that feature upgraded chest-protection technology. The C-Segment car is not stealing all the focus (*<em>ahem</em>*), however, because the all-new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/explorer">2011 Explorer</a> has clearly received plenty of attention from the safety engineers. For the first time in the Explorer's history, it has <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/21/iihs-crowned-66-top-safety-picks-in-2011/">landed on the IIHS list of Top Safety Picks</a>.<br />
