Fair enough. I am no expert, but the guy in the Escape walked away. I just got my parents a 2010 Escape, so I drove it for a few days and checked it out. They are a sturdy little truck. And I have driven a few Pacificas. They are not small. I am not saying that a large vehicle makes you immune. Only that given the likeliness of an impact in the area I have to travel through, and even as much as I love my Insight, man I'd be dead if anything that I see being driven poorly around here hit me. Sure the fiberglass soaks up a hit better than my Civic would. But when it comes down to it, if I am in something that weighs 2000-2800 pounds, made of metal or fiberglass, and I get smacked by someone in a 3500 pound, 2013 Lexus that is not paying attention while texting, or even the other trend I have spotted - the person in the passenger seat is trying to hold the phone to the driver's ear (I guess a hands free device isn't fashionable?) then I will put my money on Silvia in that situation. Accidents are terrible things, and I hope no one here ever has to deal with them. I have lost very dear friends to them, so I do not speak about them lightly. But at the end of the day, if some jackass is going to run into me at high speed due to something out of my control, then I'd take Silvia over any other option.
