  5. The Obama weaponized EPA and their CAFE regs is responsible for this list. Meanwhile Mr. Bounel rides in armored limos and flies in private jets. Phooey on him and his so-called wife.

  6. back in my day we drove cars with drum brakes, no seat belts, no air bags, 3000 lb. steel behemoths, Corvairs (Unsafe At Any Speed) & Pintos w/ Flammable stickers on the back …. now that’s unsafe!
    buncha sissies today …

  10. maybe because I’m really bad at math I ain’t wrapping my head around this… but, according to the parent article (people, please post the original article; it saves all the drilling-down), one of the cars has only 156 sales ‘to date’ but is rated as 101 fatalities per million registered vehicles
    must be a hell of a lot of people packed in those vehicles that scored all those fatalities

  13. Thirdtwin, definitely the cause of my angst today, the texting drivers! Grrrr.
    I prayed for more patience. Now I see more with their phones clutched in their hand than ever before!
    Good God, they are attached to those things.

  16. I’m keeping a 17 year old 8000 lb. diesel Excursion for my kids to learn to drive in. Why? Because it will survive a 90 mph t-bone with a mid-size sedan. That and it has a spare Hyundai Accent in the left rear wheel well. Its ok, I feed the owner cheese & crackers a couple times a week.

  17. There are some fathers who drive those little things back and forth to work because they are helping their kids through college. Wives drive the big car or van which is the family car for trips. God bless those fathers and please watch over them and keep them safe.

    Those Front-Corner-Overlap crashes are nasty even with airbags and seat-belts. Very often the wheel is shoved into the footwell.

    And…that type of crash is common these days with talking and texting, especially at high speeds. 🙁

  28. Just don’t hit anything. I ride a 40 lb bike, a 300 lb bike, a 2000 lb car, and a 4000 lb car. None will do anything against a stationary pole at high speed, against a semi, and would wreck my day against a 20 lb bike. I’m not driving what anyone else is so I look out for everything. Everyone is the enemy on the road. Fuckers are insane everywhere, especially the “price range safety cars.”

    For the luxury, it’s downright Cadillac. Get behind a Cadillac and watch all the rules of the road get thrown out in favor of the dipshit who has an alternative agenda. Fuck I hate Caddys; Plan 10 minutes for a 5 minute trip if you’re stuck behind one while it lights up the whole road with a big strip of LED brake lights constantly. The alternative Caddy driver is a rare sight and usually does 95 in a 45 leading a blue smoke plume.

  29. I tell everyone I know…p = m x v (momentum = mass times velocity).

    That is why the 90,000 ton aircraft carrier always wins over the sailboat which has the right of way and the little 56 grain bullet zipping along always wins against the 230 pound terrorist.

    This is why I will never be caught dead in a “SMART” car or an equivalent suicide vehicle. There is no substitute for steel when other people drive SUVs.

  32. a vehicle is nothing more than a tool to get oneself, or produce, from point A to point B for whatever reason
    if there are a certain amount of fatalities in the course of that action the consumer should discern that risk … whether or not the risk is acceptable, or too great.
    … it should be determined by the consumer …. NOT some arbitrary entity

  34. Anne, thats what i tell my friends. Ha d buddy owned a GEO and commuted in it. Told him it will save on funeral costs too.

    I’ve been in plenty of accidents in my youth and i caused the majority of them, but I’ve learned something. I drive heavier cars/pickups because hopefully those little cars will bounce off it.

  37. The FedGov is responsible for each and every one of those fatalities.

    We must be killed in order to be saved by CAFE standards.

    Will we wake up before it’s too late? Tune in next week for another installment of FedGov Over-Reach!
