The offset and any vehicle-vehicle crash test is far more useful in determining vehicle crash performance to me. Unless a vehicle is prone to exploding in a slight breeze or is full of running chainsaws, I'd refrain from calling it a death-trap.

I believe the car never killed anyone, its the idiots behind the wheel that make them dangerous.
