Short video of crashes on the website

to compare with rollover, the ML is at 17% and the X5 is at 17% so the RX is still ahead of the class

Thanks.... Great to know this info.

Finally there is another good thing to say about this vehicle...

Now we need IIHS results. NHTSA is not necessarily representative of real world impacts, so take it with a grain of salt.

One of the selling points for us was the RX having both driver and passenger knee bags.

I can't see the info on that link. It says:

yeah i am getting the error message too, but you can go to safercar.org and find the RX

IIHS named the RX a top safety pick for 2009

Frontal Offset: Good
Side: Good
Rear: Good

This is the first lexus to get a good rating for all three categories because in the past, lexus cars didnt fair well in rear crash protection due to lack of active head restraints.

Ahhhh, another reason to go for the 2010 than the 2009. That makes me feel much better, despite the higher price tag.
