    While it's true that the site showed a German VW Touraeg (or whatever) as an example of a safe car, and used non-German cars as examples of unsafe cars, China is not exactly known for accurate news reports so I'd take a .cn site with a grain of salt.

    Same crash test outfit that tested the Chinese car... A bit of a different result though...

    You can view the crash-test videos here (doesn't seem to work in firefox)

    Just select Prius, then movies, then pick your crash test video of choice.
