Side impact with pole:

I especially like that the window wipers are tested to make sure they work after the side impact. Whimsical.

Edit: Nevermind, looks like the wipers came on from the impact. Not as whimsical. Really digging the matte white interior, though.

I would love to see the small overlap front test...

Not that the visibility complaints are not valid, but the tradeoff is reasonable.

The offset still looks brutal, but inside it doesn't look TOO bad and the car seems to handle it pretty well. The ratings and comments are very high as well. I hope I never have to experience these "features" in real life, but I like knowing the car handles them so well!
