My thoughts exactly.

Due to take delivery of a Premium MT in three weeks, but am somewhat worried by these crash pics. On the minus side, driver-side pillar really got a bad hit; on the plus side, the passengers did OK (am amazed that the rear passenger did not get hurt more) and the IIHS bestowed a "Good" rating on the twins in its roof strength test:

The IIHS procedure is described here: http://www.iihs.org/ratings/roof/information.html

Thoughts?

In related matters, I noticed a sharp improvement in roof strength for the Honda CR-Z, from 2011 to 2012. The explanation is here:
