Interesting, though admittedly a bit inaccurate.

Well, it is kinda accurate, I never died in my '87 Chevy Astro van

Driving style plays the biggest role. Theres no substitute for a good defensive driver. Notice the Acura RSX and the Nissan 350Z have some of the highest deaths. Who and how do you think most of the people that own those cars drive them?

i suddenly feel MUCH safer in my sienna. and i agree, the lack of driving habits information makes this quite inaccurate. if i drove my sienna the way i drove my civic, there'd be a few more dead bodies laying in the road somewhere. cars geared towards being youthful/sporty took some heat on this study...
