Default Find Scion XD crash ratings?

I saw the Scion XD on the lot, but the sticker doesn't have crash
ratings on it. I can't find crash ratings for it online either. Why
aren't crash ratings available?

If Toyota tested it by industry standards, why aren't the test results
published?

So what gives the public, or the government for that matter, assurance
that the manufacturer's internal tests are up to standards? The
government doesn't require it's own standard testing before new cars
go on the road?
