Link? Is there a new pole test standard?
Soon the IIHS is releasing side impact 2.0. I've been doing "underground" research on it. The current Camry/Lexus ES/Avalon platform is about to emerge in a superstar in a very severe side collision test. Accord did "Acceptable." A lot of cars will fail... some automakers will be embarrassed. Delayed by covid some, but coming soon.

Here we go
"The reality is [the decision was] around a new (Australian Design Rule) that's coming into effect in Australia ... and for us to keep selling those cars that would have required a design change."Although the design is new – following a refresh in November 2020 – the platform on which the current Lexus IS sedan is based dates back to 2013.
Vehicle Standard ADR 85/00 – Pole Side Impact Performance – was put into legislation in December 2015, meaning Lexus has had five and a half years to prepare its existing range."
