It performed very well in those tests. It looks like Lexus has done an excellent job with making the body and doors very rigid yet they still deform appropriately.

Check out how the driver's side mirror folds in when the passenger side is impacted--really shows you the force of the crash.

Those wheels on the black IS must be the 16"--glad they don't have those here in the US.

Looks pretty solid!

Those "pillows" are essentially a "bomb in a bag" and really look like pillows for only a fraction of a second. A lot of people who blink at the moment of impact think that the airbags in their cars failed when they just see the limp bags hanging.

But the side curtain variety were long overdue, IMO, and are a huge factor in side impact survival. Just contrast the crash scores of cars that offer them as options with and and without the curtain bags. All that hard side-window glass is really, really close to the ol' melon.

^ Yup, when i was searching for cars, side airbags (and curtain airbags if they were an option) had to be on the car. The crash test really prove how much they help in accidents.

Good to know that the car is safe and well constructed.

Sad to see such a nice car get destroyed.
