Last Tuesday my wife was T-boned in her Sienna by another Minivan. She was wearing her seat belt and our children were properly restrained.

Thank God I'm on Mud doing research on the new 200 VS planning a funeral.

I don't mean to preach. But having such a violent accident so close to home scared the hell out of me.
Yup, if you have ever been in a rollover accident you then realize just how important safety is.

This is why I bought an LC200, which I feel is the safest vehicle on the market today. I was in a rollover a few years ago when I was T-boned by a city bus that ran a light. I climbed out the back window with just a glass cuts on my arms and TMJ in my jaw. Lucky me...

Anyways, this is why I feel the "upgrade" package that I discussed in another thread which is not available with the navigation-only package is a must have as it has pre-tensioners in the seatbelts. If you test them by braking heavy, you can feel them work. They are great and are a must-have in my book when it comes to utmost safety.
