Have not seen the "star" ratings yet. It has enough airbags though to provide a pretty good safe zone in high impact situations. I doubt if we will see a whole lot of posts with facts since the car is so new and testing usually follows.

As BMW and Lexus have been using in their marketing, the best way to be safe is to be nimble enough to avoid the accident.

i thought most of the insurance industry didn't have that info and were having trouble giving quotes because of that.
I think I read that in a different thread.
