bror how far wit the suv nw(sorry for derailing thread)

kingreign:

Yes, as long as it's a fallacy, you shouldn't post it. It's misleading.

sexyto:

How do you know it's a fallacy? would a Volvo of same class be that badly damaged in like situation?

sexyto:
You answer base on your preference of car you love which is ignorant at most, I thought you should have compared with other brand in same scenario rather than posting a controlled crash test by the manufacturer to sell their products, you see. the real crash test on roads not on Wikipedia.

kingreign:

You seem to love typing fallacies. Volvo or no Volvo, this car is very very safe. The only thing that let's it down in the crash test conducted is small over lap crash test. Learn to research before commenting ignorantly.

This is auto safety crash test guys, see for yourself.
But I believe this doesn't count compared to real life accident crash test. It can happen in an entirely different scenario.

Over the last 2 years, I have seen over 8 accidents that involves a Lexus IS 250, I don't want to pin this down to anything but it's obvious that most yahoo Boys like the car and they buy it every now and then.

Knowing the wayward life of yahoo Boys, they are always reckless when they drive and most are either high or drunk thus the number of accidents involving this car. But one thing I've noticed in all of these accidents is the level of damage on that car every time.

The car is always a write off or almost a write off.
Just last week, I was driving from Akure to Ondo and I saw a lexus IS beside the road, it has been in an accident and as always, it was a write off and it has obviously been axed so as to get the occupants out.

I'm really curious, why is that car always a write off after an accident. It is the structure (cuz it's a small car) or just the seriousness of the accident?

I have seen other brands of cars involved in serious accidents and the car managed to maintain its structure so the driver could get out. Personally I don't think a car should be severely damaged if a big truck is not involved.
Aside that, IS 250 is a car I admire a lot.

Note: The picture attached to post is from online pls. I don't take pictures from accident scenes cuz I believe it's disrespectful to whoever is involved.

Its center if gravity is high, at 100km/h it has low stability. Any impact will cause it to summersault.

OP, the picture you have there is an RX model not an IS.
