[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The safety ratings were poor, which is why we decided against it. [/quote]

These are similar to what I saw when we purchased our 2009 Prius.  Looks pretty good to me:

These are the stats that I found when we looked at the 2009.  4/5 in 4 areas and 5/5 for one.  Hardly what I'd call poor:

So, where did you get the poor safety ratings?[/quote]

Referring to the new tests, namely of the Prius V. You can can see the P rating on the "small overlap" test result on the IIHS site: http://www.iihs.org/ratings/ratingsbyseries.aspx?id=740

And so on.

We also decided against it (really before the test results, that just confirmed our decision) because we didn't care for how it felt/handled or looked. [/quote]
