Yeah they gave it a good which is the highest rating you can get which is one of the reasons i was allowed to get the car in the first place (my parents wouldnt let me buy an unsafe car.)

Yeah, I noticed that too, I watched it a few times and actually paused it in certain spots, pretty cool how the exhaust dropped as well.

I wasn't so impressed with the 04 RL, it looks like it deformed a lot more.

Yeah, i just don't like how freakin high it jumped. lol The 05 RL seems to have been a big improvement over the 04 in crash tests.

I feel safer now knowing the TL did well.

I would think just about the same. Does anyone know if the frames remained the same?
