IIHS Gives Three Toyota Models Top Safety Pick Award

Based on new rollover test results the 2011 Toyota Avalon and Sienna, and the 2010 Lexus RX are the latest vehicles to earn the Institute's Top Safety Pick award. The award recognizes the vehicles that earn the highest rating of good for front, side, rollover, and rear crash protection, and that have electronic stability control, which is standard on all three of these models.

 Redesigned for the '11 model year, the Sienna is the first minivan to earn the Institute's top safety designation since good performance for rollover protection was added to the criteria for 2010.

Yup, just like the Smart is a Mercedes and a Mini is a BMW.

and just like the Veyron is a veedub, the 458 Italia is a Fiat, the LF-A is a Toyota, the Phantom is a bimmer, the Caddy slade is a pimped Thaoe and all Lotuses are Proton cars with Toyota engines.

Is it bad ? no, but welcome to the wonderful world of "brands".

Ok, I agree, this post is useless without having a standard basis to compare. I thought these numbers were for all of 2011.
