Celica Crash Test Ratings, Anybody know them? Options

[richee3]

So I was driving home a little while ago, and just about hit another deer. That would have made number 3 to take out one of my Celicas... Good thing it changed it's mind. Deer fear me!!! They know that I mean business, and that I WILL hit them. But that's off topic. Anyway, nearly hitting this deer made me think about totalling out another Celica, which made me wonder about crash test ratings for the hundredth time. I've Googled it and can't find them anywhere. Does anybody on here know how the 6th Gen scored or where I could find out?

maybe try searching some old celica brochures... i know there are some images online but will be hard to find..

I only wish mine still had the owner's manual... Much less a brochure to come with it. I find Japanese brochures on Ebay all the time, but those don't help me out a whole lot since I can't read Japanese.

mhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
found nothing for T20 only this for t23

That was actually fairly helpful. I'd imagine the 7th Gen was safer than the 6th Gen, but then again, you guys all know what happens when you assume.

Buy a vert. Drive it a lot near the woods.

I need vert parts

Hahahahahahahaha if I had the money, I'd do that for you. If I could buy a vert, I'd be all over it, assuming I could keep my hatchie too

to be honest, it HAS TO be DAMN GOOD, i hit another car head on going about 50. and they had to be going about 40, i had no airbags, and im just fine! THEY were the ones injured (or say they were) not to mention i had a whole different motor in the car that STILL held up and is running fine!

You know, I don't doubt it. I hit one deer in my old red ST (I miss that car- it was babied. Oil change every 2,500 before I got it, detailed once a week, garaged, carpet so clean you could eat off of it- can't cry over lost cars though.) It hit the front right corner of the car when I was going 40. It blew both airbags immediately but the seatbelts did their job and locked up so I never had to touch the airbag. I've taken the doors off of my pars car and they have a large rod going through the door. Plus they are surprisingly heavy. To look at them, you'd think something would tear right through them and get to you if you ever got hit, but having seen the inside of the door and lifted them, I feel a bit safer.

Nonetheless, I'm still curious exactly how our cars scored. No big deal if I never find out, just curious.
