The difference is minuscule as a percentage. The fact that
properly belted passengers in larger cars are less likely to be
injured or killed, is great in comparison. Do some research. No
mater how you choose to look at SUV's, the fact remains if
larger, safer, SUV's were not available more people would be
injured or killed in motor vehicle accidents
