I think EvoX comes with side curtain airbags as standard if ime not mistaken (who knows). I think thats the reason why they stopped getting evo's in 2007. Correct me if ime wrong but the government is requiring that import cars need to have side curtain airbags starting 2007.

Agreed...major deficiency with the Evo. I'm no "safety design engineer" so exactly how much side airbags would have helped I don't know (seat looks significantly compromised) but I'd bet having them would be better than not!

I hate to sound like a broken record here; but I'm glad you're OK.

If you can post some more pics of the damage, I'm sure a lot of us will find that info helpful. Thanks, and take care.
