Gotta say Toyota did a good job designing to protect the passengers!!!

looking at past threads I get the impression that if the Yaris gets involved in any collision it will suffer extensive damage compared to other cars - even though it does a good job of protecting the occupants.

That does look like the Yaris is great at protecting the passengers! :clap: Good crumple zones!

when the camera looks at the car from an angle on the passenger side, it sort of looks like a liftback.

I woundn't want to be in that type of accident with my LB. Don't know if it would of held up as good as the Sedan did.

I would like to see the rear impact rating on the LB. So far I've only seen the sedan's info.

You can't get that result from a lab. I'm glad the Yaris design held up in a real world crash. Hopefully, the occupants are OK too.

i have total confidence in the yaris. its built to the highest standards and even tho it is a small car it would have done a lot better than other cars. Even though the other cars involved were pickups, they no doubtedly arent as good as the yaris when it comes to crumple zones :)

Good thing it was a back and front crash. If she would have been hit with the same force in the side she'd probably be dead.

Just don't drive sideways between 2 cars that are going to collide!!!!:thumbup:
