if you want to believe an institute with an agenda to get car companies to bribe them to get better scores, be my guest. I on the other hand, will use my brain and make my own choices.

What?

You're comparing apples and oranges here. The EU spec Yaris has Side body airbags, Side head airbags and Driver knee airbags which the ones here don't have as standard equipment. You can't compare the results directly. I'm not exactly sure what you're point is..

The IIHS keeps inventing new tests and run the tests before an automaker can comply with such extreme crashes.

Needless to say, the Camry is a safe car. But tests like this make Toyota look bad. Most people will see a report such as this and without looking into the details, conclude that the Camry is a death trap.

As rated by IIHS:


1 - Fiat 500 (Lounge, CLounge, Sport, Pop and CPop)
2 - Kia Rio 5 (LX and SX)
3 - Toyota Corolla L
4 - Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart
5 - Mercedes-Benz CL600

no i am not. airbags only hurt people, they don't do much to help. This "test" is not meant to test anything, it is to make car companies look bad so they will bribe the iihs to stop it.

The IIHS is a privately run, privately owned by insurance companies organization. If you don't think they are looking for a payoff from auto companies, i have a bridge i want to sell you.

After lurking about on their website, I totally agree with you.
