New Toyota Auris achieves five-stars from Euro NCAP

the toyota yaris has 11 airbags in europe.
and 5 stars for the auris? it's almost "so what?".
the 1 series, astra, a class, citroen C4, renault megane, and golf all have 5 stars too.
and "All the germans know how to do is put 12 and 14 aribags in their cars with no result"
yeah that's a really clever, unbiased statement.
the 3 series, c class, passat, a6, e class, x5 and touareg all have 5 stars. but the rav-4 doesn't....
however toyota and lexus do have an impressive safety record.

All Toyota/Lexus fanboys on this site know how to do is bash German cars. It's getting old and terribly stupid by now.

By the way, this clown sounds like a dumb little kid.

maybe this WOULD NOT HAPPEN if the german fan boys were NOT always bashing lexus/toyota?

for every action, there is a reaction. (i don't suppose you mite be "a dumb little kid" yourself?)

Hey, I admit, bashing Toyota or Lexus if fun, especially when I see some posts from Toyota/Lexus fanboys bashing a European or American product. Sometimes, the best defense is a good offense. ;-)

If it's the 3.5 liter found on the ES350 it would be producing 272hp..

2JZSoarer, I'm not that old. I don't look down on people who don't drive luxury cars. You on the other hand seem to LOOK DOWN on people who don't drive a gussied up Toyota, I mean, a Lexus. ;-)

ApexAlex: suzzle is a word I made up. Actually, my grandmother always used it to describe the process in which man becomes tired and slowly falls asleep. Family tradition if you like. ;-)
