IIHS also started the Small Overlap testing a few years ago which was pretty nasty and lots of existing cars didn't qualify. It was a major factor in us purchasing new instead of used and the particular cars we went with.

Just for clarity, they did "frontal offset impact" tests a long time ago, small overlap however was a recent addition, you can see the difference between the two here[0]. So even in the early 2000s vehicles did improve for frontal offset impacts, they just improved further in the last couple of years with the small overlap tests.
