Bad car name, too.
The fuel emission standards of today dictate lighter, more plastic cars. Is it any wonder they suck?
Those cars all look like they’d be really popular with driving texters. Can’t blame it all on the ride.
Little bitty cars.
And as Thirdtwin suggests the choices of young-uns.
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.
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 …
Perhaps a new “Cash For Clunkers” is in order.
Cash for Crumplers?
Hyundai just changed the name from Accent to Apparition…
I’m quite sure the most dangerous vehicle today is the ‘Muslim-mobile’. It will take you from your comfort zone to decapitated in a split second.
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
Walked away from a totaled ’69 Delta 88, even the frame was bent. A drunk driver in a truck rear ended me at more than 50 MPH. Hit and run.
But a big rig truck driver caught him.
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.
How about the Dodge Ram A Tree?
I really expected to see a picture of Teddy Kennedy’s car.
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.
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.
Watch this and then tell me the old cars were more crash worthy.

Down here everyone drives Chevy VOLTS. They burst into flames even when they’re not being driven. Lucifer loves the show. 👿
Here is a video of a 1998 Corolla vs. 2015 Corolla. I would consider a 1998 to have come a long way as far as vehicle safety, I would bet it is far safer than a 1978 for example, but the difference here is clear. Note that this is a New Zealand test, right-side driver for each car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxDHuthGIS4

As in Tony R’s link for example! 🙂
No little toy cars for me with texting drivers on every road.
Soon the flakies will say that’s “racism against Accents”.
@ Tony R
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. 🙁
Even in an F-150, you’re going to get all shook up!

Why can’t I buy a Stryker or some other up armored vehicle to protect me from the gnats texting and driving in their Specks?
After hearing a strange noise for about a week, I found a crushed up Kia Rio in the fender well of my F-150.
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.
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.
A SMART car is economical. It doubles as a car -and- a coffin. Saves your family money; undertakers are pissed.
Braden Lynch, you forgot red as an addition to velocity. p = m x (v + red).
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
This is an outrage! There is no excuse for any car, ever, having greater than average fatality statistics. Someone should sue.
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.
I love my Tacoma double cab. Great little
truck.
Wifey is getting a Lexus wagon at the end of the year
most likely.
My 2002 Camry, which had 4,000 miles on it when I bought, has served me very well for 15 years. At 73 years old, I doubt I will buy another care, God willing.
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!
