Corvettes are not designed to crash into SUVs. Neither are McClarens or Ferraris. They are also in different classes than all the other cars you mentioned. By law, if they are in the USA, they have to pass certain front and side impact standards. Impact from what, is not as defined.

Safety in vehicles is good. Safety in drivers is much more important. Personally, I'd like to see fewer vehicles on the road that are built like tanks. The problem is less the vehicle than the driver, because too many people drive these vehicles like they are driving tanks.

To paraphrase another saying, "Cars don't kill people - people, driving cars, kill people."
