HEY, i just wanted to point out to you guys that this has been out for a while, plus, the head injury criteron was not used in calculating the side impact star ratings which means that the side curtain airbags would not have improved the star rating any. The side airbags do come with lower torso side airbags, but they, according to nhtsa, generallly only decreased the serious injuries by about10% (note, not 10% of total crashes, but 10% of serious injuries) which means that side airbags would not really do anything to improve that score much at all.
