Realcars, not only are you displaying a complete lack of maturity but any sense of fairness and reasoning but that is OK because it is yourself who is stooping to low levels which is historically expected from most Holden/Ford fans when they have little remaining puff.

Sometime back you may recall video footage comparing the Euro NCAP crash testing of a Yaris and a Holden Barina.

While the Yaris faired extremely well with damage restricted to the frontend only, the Barina also suffered a partially collapsed roof and a buckled floor (chassis) that pertruded into the passenger cabin.

Just goes to prove the structural and crash integrity of these to direct competitors with one of them rated at 5 stars and the other at a dismally low 2.

I would be much, much, much more concerned about a Cruiser zeroing down on a Barina.

Andrew – is that the same Explorer that killed 279 people in the US because of roll-overs.

Wow another straw man argument. Suppose all of the readers of this site have come to expect this from you.

I told u that u guys are mean’t for one another. Ha Ha Ha.

Yeah only Toyota matchbox cars!Ha Ha Ha

You guys should talk to your respective fathers and see if u can borrow the keys to the Widebody. U could park out the front of a Toyota dealership and get to know one another.

Or a Ford explorers roof collapsing in a mild rollover?

Is a gimmick to showcase Toyota’s technological prowess rather than a worthwhile real world contribution. The Japs are expert at taking technology(developed by Yanks or Euros) and giving it a consumer application worth wile or not.

I would be more concerned about that Landcruiser zeroing down on your Safety T Cell.

I wouldnt worry RoFlmaTic Realcars is an idiot… I doubt he even drives a real car, my bet is he still drives his matchbox cars around the sandpit.

You also made a good point made which this idiot neglects, these cars dont drive themselves… and at the end of the day Realcars being an ignorant person he is doesnt realise that certain cars Lexus sell are aimed at people who will be interested in these features.

P.S How hot is the IS-F… now that is a REALCAR!

What is the Lexus version? Safety L Cell?

Remember the Toyota Crown or would u rather forget? It was a nut and bolt copy of 50′s 230 Merc.

Well guess what their at it again. Not as blatant this time around but I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.I suppose most Lexus owners don’t mind if their ride is confused for a Merc.
