Toyota is taking advantage of hard-working folks, who trust Toyota to engineer a little more safety into their cars.

Long story made short, Toyota better pull a "2013 Honda Civic refresh" move fast, and make their cars safer! Continuous improvement is something that Toyota buyers still remember and EXPECT from Toyota.

Being a 2012 Yaris owner, I look forward to Toyota's response.

The best (and in some cases worst) safety instrument is the driver. I have a lot of confidence in my own defensive driving ability/situational awareness. Crash test results aren't a make or break for me, fuel economy and reliability are. In my experience, the Yaris is top notch in both fuel economy and reliability.

For those of you who have to drive regularly during a Winter where there is lots of ice and snow, I can see why the protection the car itself provides would be a higher priority than it is for me.
