    Looks real good considering that it does not include side or curtain air bags in the test. I bet adding those would have gotten 5's in side impact tests.

    BTW, interesting that they classify the Prius as a "Compact" car. Looks like they used that label instead of "Light/Medium" since the class size is determined by the weight of the car. The Prius, at 2943 lbs., is the 2nd heaviest in that class size.

    Enjoy!

    True - but now we have pictures. Looks like they used a silver and a seaside.
