Exclamation '10 RX350 Safety rating.

Talked with a friend on the hot topic today that Lexus GX has the safety concerns and Toyota/Lexus decides to suspend sales of it.

Well, I quickly checked online and review RX's info. In case, some of you are also interested in knowing the safety rating. Here we go.

Yeah, the redesigned RX has excellent safety ratings, it was an IIHS top pick last year; green "good" ratings all around from NHTSA tests is much improved for the new model and vs. some rivals. Still, driving carefully is the best safety feature of all.

the RX and all lexus cars always did well, except for rear collision because of the lack of active head restraints. After they fixed that with the newer models, most if not all Lexus cars get a G for all categories
