this is the stupidest crap ever...
you could do the same experiment and replace the "minicars" vs. sedans with sedans vs. SUVs... you'd get the same results and then have a "scientific" evidence that people should ditch their sedans and all move to SUVs... which will just accelerate the arms race that has been going on for years now... people moving into bigger cars and trucks to save themselves from the other people driving big cars and trucks... it's ridiculous... take a look at the cars from the 80s... they were like the "minicars" we have now... the current corolla is bigger than an 80s camry... and have you seen the new ford F150? it's twice the size as an F-150 from 20 years ago... are traffic fatalities any lower now than then? (that's an honest question... i have no stats on it) god bless america... the land of the fearful... |

Wait so you mean to tell me that If I drive my Yaris into a head-on collision with a ford F-350 that there's an increased chance I'll be hurt?!
  So that means that if I get into a head-on driving an F-350 into a dump truck I might get hurt too?! I guess everyone should just start driving school buses and dump trucks around everywhere.So is this really about the Yarii and economy cars being (obviously) on the losing side of a head-on or is it a way to persuade people into buying huge SUVs they don't need so they can be "safe" (and boost sales)...

This is a plot by the oil companies to get us all back into gas guzzling SUV's
