how about MDX vs Neon?
or have a Toyota Land Cruiser to hit a Ford Focus?
Let's look at this accident:
"The Acura (lost control) and crossed into the southbound lane and collided broadside with a Volvo"
That means the Volvo was going straight, and the Acura hit Volvo with it's passenger side. That's SIDE IMPACT. If the situation is reversed, do you think Volvo can do much better?
In general, I mean "in general", Chinese tend to buy small car because of the financial reason, and we believe Japanese cars are more reliable (less repair rate) so we buy cheapest small Japanese car and then we complain it's not safety, and compare it with cars like Ford Explorer.
