I agree - and makers like Saab Volvo and Mercedes decades ago designed autos to be safe and when statistics began proving that design and safety devices saved lives - well the big 3 had no choice but to begin to design autos that would better protect occupants in a crash - and of course autos are designed to perform well in the safety tests as some of these tests are actually fairly well conceived to reflect the forces that happen in a crash - are they perfect no, but the IIHS does keep the bar moving.
So I just saw a new Chrysler 200 ad touting that it delivers 36 highway mpg and the Ford Fusion only 34 - and saying not a big difference unless you have to walk those 2 miles. That ad and "America's Import" though do make me want to avoid considering such an automobile but the 200 for 2015 gets some pretty high marks from auto reviewers.
