Good Crash scores don't affect most buyers, if anything it's the bad ones that do.

I have alwas had a good view of Toyota even though I would never purchase one even before the current events which are quite serious. This will not be a quick-fix.

I would never consider a Toyota even if it scored well. I would never buy a vehicle that wasn't safe, I would never buy a Toy or Lexus because they have safety issues that have not been addressed properly.
