Default Future Scion Xb Owner ---- How is the safety on the Xb

Sup guys

I some how got attached to the scion for its style, room and extremely low depreciation or rather appreciation in some cases. But before I buy I want to know how safe it is. I hate to ask for accident stories but they will help extremely. Im worried about getting into a rear end collision and with its small bumper getting f'd up on the 110 freeway. PLEASE RESPOND ASAP. From your responses determines whether or not I buy!!

Rear Collisons they hold up well...The whiplash system is the same on xAs and xBs. I got rearend at 30+ mph and walked away with a cracked rear bumper. The Insurance institute for highway safety gave the rear rating a Good which is the highest it can get.
