No car is bullet proof, so to speak.
Absolutely agree that no car is bullet proof but in the days of side impact bars, curtain airbags etc it's interesting that Toyota are the only manufacturer (to my knowledge) that are doing anything to in the way of proactive safety to specifically address this issue. The Toyota airbag is for small cars where passengers sit very close to the rear window not for an occasional row of seats.
