    Toyota Prius gains 5-star Euro NCAP accolade. Hybrid car gets class-best 34 points and highest ever child protection score. Prius is first ever hybrid to be tested by Euro NCAP. A further 125 actual crash tests confirm optimum passive safety.

    The Toyota Prius, the first hybrid car ever to have been tested by Euro NCAP, passed the stringent crash tests with flying colours. Its 34 points equalled the highest score ever awarded in its class and ensured a maximum 5-star rating.

    Furthermore, Prius was awarded 43 points in the new Child Protection Rating, the highest score ever recorded. This was achieved thanks to the standard 3-anchor point CRS (Child Restraint System) ISOFIX system and Toyota's intelligent child seat design.

    whenever a $20,000 vehicle performs at the level of other $50,000 luxury cars, it is impressive. but when the $20,000 car sets an all time record for performance, it makes one realize that Motortrend's choice for Car of the Year was a more obvious choice than even Prius enthusiasts realize.

    thanks for the link.
