I agree on more mass softens the impact, but so do advanced airbags, seatbelts, collapsible steering columns.

Its not the fall that kills you, its the sudden stop at the end. All other things equal, you will stand a better chance going 60 to 0 by stopping in three feet than you will in two feet. Larger crumple zones are safer than smaller ones.

We don't need 3 ton SUV's in every parking spot at grocery store. And that same SUV will stand no chance against a Semi. There is always something bigger than you on road.

The odds of running into a semi, bus, or train are less than running into a semi, bus, train, or SUV. If you drive an SUV at least your vehicle has passed a crash test of colliding with something as big as an SUV. I agree we don't need a an SUV in every parking space at a grocery store. However if someone wants to drive an SUV to the grocery store they are free to do so.
I disagree with promoting something as safe by evaluating it with a flawed test

If you believe this why are you promoting "Safe" cars?
