That last link has data on actual fatalities per million cars registered and they had this to say.

"Results from the IIHS study show that vehicle weight and size factor into the death rate. Generally, the smallest, lightest vehicles have the highest fatality rates in crashes. None of the 15 vehicles on the lowest-fatality list are small, while 11 of 16 on the highest list are small."

just what I have been saying all along.
