Default Driver Fatality Risks by Vehicle (Z #3, RSX#2)
http://autos.msn.com/advice/CRArt.as...tentid=4024763

It's funny how the G35 is the second LOWEST rate of driver death vehicle.

The Evo and the WRX are not on that highest rates list...which is a bit intriguing.

Another re-hash of the same old data that started several months ago...

No, just cheating yourself thinking you are.

It's bound to win, with such power and price range that teens can buy it. I am suprised with all the research VW spent on the Buggatti is barely keeps up with the RSX Type-S.

There's a lot here to factor in. This is not necessarily a safe car vs. dangerous car list. It's also a rich man/poor man list, big car/small car, old guy/young guy(girl) list.

It also strikes me there is a lot more performance OVERALL in the "safe" list than in the "bad" list.

I had a professor in college that had a great line for stuff like this.

It doesnt suprise me at all. Many of the "worst" cars are owned by young people, while the other list is primarily owned by older people with money
