Toyota acts suprised, but they full well know that this is not a new car. It's a three year old car ported from the American market (known there as a Scion xD) and it's safety record is therefore on the level of a car developed five years ago.
Toyota releasing this as a new car is almost fraudulent.
In Europe, the first car in achieve a five-star Euroncap rating was the 2001 Renault Laguna -a midsize saloon-, and many small cars have five-stars safety rating for many years (2005 Renault Clio, for example).
Exactly, it is a miserable performance. That Toyota shrugs it off and blames Euro-NCAP's testing procedures is sheer arrogance against their customers.
Even the tiny microcar Chevrolet Spark got four stars, and it automatically lost one star due to not having ESP, which the Urban Cruiser has.
Such a strong car! i like it

urban cruiser lost 2 stars because of the positions of side airbags. no points from pole test and 7 points from the side impact test.
people think euroncap is losing its prestige. because only 4 tests are NOT enough for prove a car's safety.
different kind of accidents happens every day. european cars designed to take 5 stars in tests,but many people die in those cars.
2 stars mercedes and 4 stars megane, head to head. result: 3 people died in megane, minor injuries for the mercedes' driver.

The Urban Cruiser has been engineered to reach a safety level equivalent to Euro NCAP 5-star rating.

It doesn't excuse what happened, IMO.
In Europe, the first car in achieve a five-star Euroncap rating was the 2001 Renault Laguna -a midsize saloon-, and many small cars have five-stars safety rating for many years (2005 Renault Clio, for example).

Toyota really messed up.
