I'm glad it's safer on paper. But I found the real road causualty information for 2014 model year vehicles.

Driver deaths per million:

Dodge Charger 2WD: 35
Toyota Prius: 31

So statistically I'm safer in a 2014 Prius than a 2014 Charger. Not by a huge margin either.

Too bad I sold my Leaf. It's only 8 per million vehicles.

As far as the Suburban goes, the 2WD model is only 7 driver deaths per million Suburbans.
