My thoughts exactly. Some vehicles had shock towers farther out from the firewall with only the fenders to support them. In these cases a strut bar is essential. Our Yaris' upper strut mounts being intregal to the firewall make them very well supported. Sure, a bar may be some insurance and they certainly look pretty, but far less important than in many other applications.
A cosmetic upgrade perhaps???
Interestingly, past forum comments by those who have installed them range from 'no noticable difference' to 'a huge improvement'.
