NHTSA + IIHS = Informed For Life
Hey all,
Have you guys seen this website: http://www.informedforlife.org/viewartcl.php?index=1
I think that it is a pretty comprehensive website. It is nice that it combines the scores of the different crash test websites in one.

Awesome site! 
I noticed no change in the rear crash rating on the T4R 2007 to 2008. Didn't they change the headrests for '08? I thought the '08 now had "active head restraints" to reduce the pain of being rear-ended...

The availability of active head restraints in 2008 is actually debatable (and misleading).

'02 4Runner specifically mentioned
On the bottom of THIS PAGE, they specifically call out an '02 4Runner as being 26 times safer than a Chevy Blazer based on accident data. Cool!

No question there. One has to wonder how many of those Blazers are even still on the road, haha.
