hehehe...
akala ko car comparison thread to... choosing which to buy. LC80 or Xwind.
mas makapal talaga kaha ng Land Cruiser... makapal na bakal ang mga bumpers hindi polyurethane (tama ba?) plastic...
May isang study sa states... wala ng effectiveness usually ang mga bumpers sa mid-speed accident ng mga bagong sasakyan dahil na-sacrifice ang safety at puro pang asthetic purposes na lang ang bumpers...
the LC is with aftermarket ARB bumpers..solid steel. kaya parang "tinga" lang ang xwind!
The LC80 sans the ARB bumpers would have already stood on its own against the Xwind...
IMO...
The Crosswind also did its part by deforming and absorbing most of the impact.
