Exclamation Lexus Safest Car!

LEXUS IS THE SAFEST CAR IN ITS SEGMENT.

Lexus GS300 recently scored five stars in EURO NCAP crash testing. Beating the competition easliy, the saab 9-5 is not anymore the safest family car in the world.

Although Saab 9-5, mercedez E class and other models have 5 stars the lexus has almost 100% points in all areas and since more than 5 stars cannot be given it has been titled as the 'SAFEST FAMILY CAR' in many of the european newspaper.

During the crash testing the front deformed but much less than the comptetion giving it 94% there and side impact it was awarded 100%, there was almost no injuries showing on the dummies inside and for pedestrian safety it was also above average.

Lexus is expected steal a lot of market from BMW, MERCEDES, AUDI

while bmw 5 series is one of the least safest car in its segment scoring only 4 stars when everybody get 5.




i would rather sit behind Lexus than anyother big bmw or merc or a swedish car(come on volvo ) when something like this happens

have the Euro NCAP guys tested the Honda Legend (Acura RL over here of course)? That thing scored real high in tests over here, and its ACE structure should prove to be very crashworthy. Eager to see how that does/has done in the european crash tests: anyone have anyu info on this?

I'd rather be in a tank then any Lexus in that situation. Nice to see the GS did well in the NCAP.
