i found this on the 70 cruiser and it seems they may be comparing oranges with apples.
over sized car with ladder frame??

However, none of the single-cab's other safety upgrades – which include a stronger ladder frame and the addition of side curtain airbags, a driver's knee airbag, new seats, under-dash padding, all-new body panels, single 130-litre fuel tank, relocated steering link and locally developed chassis tune – apply to other 70 Series models.

That means the family-focussed LC70 dual-cab ute, LC76 wagon and LC78 Troop Carrier, all of which can seat up to five occupants, continue to be 'unrated' by ANCAP. Previously, the LC70 single-cab achieved a three-star safety rating.

so dont get your nickers in a twist over media hype.
