Here you go:

The NHTSA and IIHS tests aren't done yet.

Default Thanks but how do I compare...

this data with US NHTSA data for other Toyotas when I talk to my insurance company about a quote? Which model(s) of Toyotas should I tell them to look up at the Japanese site? Suggestions anyone?

if i'm correct Toyota cut down production time on these vehicles by doing virtual testing for the crash tests and the same for the wind tunnel tests.

Default Insurance

Got my xB on June 11th and went directly to my agents office to sign the insurance papers. After he stopped laughing, no kidding, we went inside and his company had nothing on the xB. So he ball-parked the insurance estimate with the comment that it's a Toyota so it must be good. Then he asked if he could go for a ride in it. When we walked out of his office there was a group of ten people standing around the car with the usual 'what the f----' is this questions.

Which begs the question, how did you drive with your insurance agent riding shotgun? Do any E-brake turns?
