2011 Scion tC - Click above for high-res image gallery
The redesigned 2011 Scion tC (http://www.autoblog.com/model/tc) coupe has officially earned a five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Thanks in part to no fewer than eight airbags, the little Scion (http://www.autoblog.com/make/scion/) managed to ace the government's collision and rollover tests.
The tC features driver and passenger airbags, seat-mounted side airbags, driver and passenger knee airbags and side-curtain airbags.
In addition to its impressive airbag tally, the car also packs ABS, traction control, stability control, brake assist, electronic brake-force distribution and Smart Stop technology to help prevent the airbags from ever having to deploy. Click past the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/12/2011-scion-tc-earns-nhtsa-five-star-crash-rating/#continued) to see the full press release.
