This whole thing is giving small cars a (hopefully temporary) bad rap.

I agree with the comments above.

Now, let's see the sedan vs. SUV. Then let's see SUV vs. semi truck.

Shit, we should all be driving tanks and bulldozers ... just to be on the safe side. Heaven forbid people would start to move to smaller cars.

Frankly, I'm getting sick of hearing about this damn story. It's all over the net and the TV tonight.

Look at all the new small cars in the last few years ... heck since 2004:

Scion xB
Scion xA
Scion xD
Toyota Yaris
Ford Fiesta
Kia Soul
Nissan Cube
Nissan Versa
Smart ForTwo
Honda Fit
Pontiac G3

Pre 2004 (and still for sale)
MINI
Chevrolet Aveo
Hyundai Accent
Kia Rio
Probably a few I'm missing.

Anyway, there has been an influx in small cars and it makes me wonder why an organization would spend all kinds of money to show people "hey, small cars aren't as safe ..." Just a "reminder" I guess ...

I'm proud to drive a small car, promote my small-car Web site, and frequent forums like this. It's kind of a movement, I guess—one I'm proud to be a part of.
