Wrong! I've never looked at a car's crash test ratings before buying it. I don't want my cars to go all that fast (though I admit I like them to go through the curves at the same speeds I travel on the straight), and would much prefer smaller & lighter.

I'll grant that I'm not average, but consider how many people ride motorcycles.
