According to Yahoo! Green, the biggest and heaviest cars are not always the safest cars. Of course, we know they will be more expensive cars to operate because of fuel costs. Now, since big SUV's are not always synonyms for safe cars, they will also not insure our safety or be cheaper cars to insure either.
Apparently the design of the car matter more then how large a car is. Cars have crush zones and safer areas, and engineers who understand this can use the steel wisely to make safer cars without making heavier cars. In fact, if we lived in a world where everybody drove lighter, better designed cars, we would have less traffic accidents, and help our environment.
If you are car shopping, be sure and research what insurers think about a car model's safety. After all, car companies publish testing, but nothing tells the truth like statistics on what really protected passsengers and drivers in the real world.
