4 stars refers to the ANCAP, or Australasian New Car Assessment Program rating. The two are completely different. Still, great result for the Aussie made 380. |

Yeah I knew all that lol...just thought it unusual for a car to be getting older and having it's ratings "upped" though. |

They're completely different tests, based on different criteria. Sometimes cars will get a good ANCAP score just because they have a seat belt warning lamp. The fact the 380 didn't have ESC at the time of release was the main reason it didn't receive 5 star ANCAP, but in the real world the structural integrity of the shell and chassis is world class, hence the excellent 5 star rating on the used car report.
