So here is the scenario. A customer rents a vehicle from our Toyota store and gets hit on the drivers side of a 2017 Magnetic Gray Rav4 XLE, by a Suburban. The driver of the Suburban was not paying attention and ran a red light. The Rav rolled over approximately 3 times after impact. The customer driving the Rav exits the vehicle (probably from the passenger side rear door) without a cut, scratch, or any major injuries. Not one drop of blood remains inside the demolished Rav. I wanted to post this information for two reasons. One to encourage all drivers to pay attention so we can help prevent deaths on the road, and secondly to give companies like the iihs, etc... props for putting pressure on car manufacturers to make vehicles safer. Good job Toyota!!! Overall Real Crash Test Score: Damn Good.

I have my doubts as well about rolling over three times. That's what I was told, but I just can't see that happening. Nonetheless, the car held up well.

Check out what happened to my RAV4 when someone up ahead of us decided to slam on their brakes and my being at the end of the line caught the short end of the stick:

it was raining and the back spray from the car in front of me blurred my view in the last few seconds....the person who slammed on the brakes according to witness's left the scene.....the pics are the results of the hit and the $11K in repairs afterwards....Allstate said that RAV4's retain their value so they decided to authorize the repairs.....

Then there is this - driver in the U.K. crashed his reportedly bought new one hour prior Ferrari and the police say that he walked away with only a few bruises, probably including one to his ego:
