I read in one of the drive reviews that Toyota had promised/was anticipating a 5 star NCAP crash test rating. I'm not sure which article it was, maybe InsideLine?

Edit: Found it

Quote:
A perimeter-frame structure braced by the transmission tunnel enables a lower than average floor height while maintaining crash safety – Toyota is promising a five-star NCAP rating for the GT 86 – meaning front occupants sit with their hips just 400mm above the road.

Not sure how accurate that article is because I could not dig up another source that mentioned crash worthiness... of course that will come later closer to release, right now the journalists only focus on how it drives.
