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?

i hate how the dam passenger airbag is so freaking close to the front windshield that it pretty much shatters the glass no matter what.

Yeah, I know... Toyota should put a warning on there that says "Some Glass Included." The airbag alone is around $2,000 to replace if I remember correctly, plus you get to throw in another coule hundred for the windshield.

The strange thing is, in my ST hatch, it destroyed the windshiel when the airbag blew. But in my ST coupe that I parted out, the airbag never touched thw windshield. Is the coupe windshield different from the hatch?

All I know is I'd rather not be in the passenger seat when the airbag blows.
