Why does the 370 not have any safety ratings?

I'm not certain, but I believe a manufacturer has to sell a certain number of units before safety ratings are performed. Dunno.

The 370 is quite a popular car... I would imagine that there have been plenty of them sold.

Also keep in mind that they never made a 2007 Evo in the U.S. because the 2006 and below only had a 2 star side crash rating, therefore it wasn't even going to be allowed on the road.

"Your right", I just found this!

The 370 is not a high volume seller!

Some Models Are Not Rated

If the model you seek is missing crash-test results, they may be pending or the vehicle may not be tested. Both agencies concentrate on the "highest-volume vehicles". Convertibles are rarely tested for this reason, though for the first time in 2007 IIHS tested 10 models, including several best-sellers like the Chrysler Sebring and Ford Mustang. Results for new or recently reengineered models are likely to appear months after the car goes on sale because both agencies purchase their test subjects from dealerships. NHTSA notes if a vehicle is TBT (to be tested) or if results are pending or under review. IIHS has begun to offer more detailed information about whether or not test results are pending.
