I don't think you got my point. My point was that just because a vehicle holds up in one type of accident, doesn't mean it is safe. I.E., just because you can roll a Contour and not get injured doesn't mean you wouldn't get killed in a 30 mph head on with a Grand Marquis. My friend who was T-boned was T-boned by an Escort and recieved serious injuries for what should have been a minor collision. The people I knew who damaged their cars beyond identification were barely injured, and they were all involved in head on collisions. A Cavalier may protect decently in a frontal impact, but it does not protect in a side impact very well. Just as a Fusion may protect well in a frontal crash but protect very poorly in a side impact.
