Toyota bad in rear-end crash?
Just heard on the news that Toyota, Honda, and BMW were the worst performers in rear-end collisions. Amazingly, FORD was listed as good, along with Nissan. I don't care. I LOVE my TCH!!!

Re: Toyota bad in rear-end crash?
Is this hitting or being hit? I was driving downtown on a cold day a couple weeks ago, and I hit an icy patch in between two tall buildings (ie. no sun to melt the ice) and actually tapped another car in the rear, but fortunately the ABS kicked in enough that there was no mark on either car, so we just called it no foul (lucky for me she didn't have any old dents she wanted to get rid of). Freaked me out though, cause everywhere else in the city the sun had completely dried the roads that day.

Isn't the reduced performance in rear end collisions based mostly (if not entirely) on the fact that the headrests aren't particularly good? (Read: whiplash)
I thought I read this a couple of months ago when this study came out.
