Which information was that? I had only seen the Gold IIHS rating and the front/offset/side/rear ratings for the 06 Civic. Haven't seen the complete ratings or any IIHS ratings on Prius. Historically the Prius has done well (with side curtains and active head restraint) but I see no evidence it is "safer" in the 2006 model year.

I liked the fact that the Prius had traction control as a standard feature and vehicle stability control as an available option (which I chose to include in my option package). It was my understanding that these were not available, either standard or as an additional option, on the Civic.
