STOP CRYING KARMAAN, it's not bad tho'. check out the report .....

"Lean, Green and Safe: Toyota Prius achieves Euro NCAP top rating for occupant and child safety

Toyota Prius is the first hybrid car to be tested by Euro NCAP, is one of eight cars to achieve the top five star occupant rating and gets the highest rating for child protection, proving that cars can be lean, green and safe."


oh and I have to blow the horn for Renault ( I'm also such a fanboy )
“These latest Euro NCAP continue to show significant improvements in car safety standards. Renault’s Mégane CC has set a new benchmark for frontal crash test protection. Toyota’s Prius shows that innovative ‘green’ hybrid technologies can also offer very good levels of safety"
