An amulet (from Latin amuletum; earliest extant use in Natural History [Pliny], meaning "an object that protects a person from trouble")

What sadistic, evil b*****d named it Amulet?

I can't imagine a more inappropriately named car - that's hellish!

Scary stuff....

Call me sad, but I thought I recognised the shape of the rear wheelarch as being like the MK1 Seat Toledo (i.e. based on a MKII Golf). Did a search on Google and some of the hits seem to confirm that the Chery Amulet is a rebodied Seat Toledo, pic below.

Maybe this could explain the poor crash performance, as we are talking about a car first about in 1991.

Scariest other crash test film I've seen was for the Rover 100 - Euroncap.com, has loads of crash test videos, including the Civic
