In that crash the dash board and steering wheel shifted so far up and to the right that the driver's head glances off the edge of the airbag and smashes into the dash.

It's really only marginally better than Chinese car crash performance.

I guess the rims and sleekness to the body that guys like don't offer much in the way of safety.

There hasn't been a Toyota I've wanted to own since 1996. I honestly wouldn't touch a Recent toyota or honda with a 10 foot pole. I'd rather shop Hyundai/Kia as foreign alternatives. (If i were even in that market for a car)
