Top 10 Deadliest Cars

This was mostly logical. Those little pop can cars would be my first guess. But, wow there are a couple on here that were a big surprise...

What is going on at GM?

Those vehicles (Camaro & Silverado) should not be on this list.

Glad I like Mustangs!

camaro +mullet+bad breakup (drinking)=death

Add in Skynard to the 1st power and the equation becomes more probable.

Simple math.

GM: The next time you are out & about try counting the number of GM products that have burned out front parking light...it is staggering, and a direct reflection on how GM designs its cars. There is a definite glitch in the GM wiring harness to have such a large number of cars, both old and new, that have this problem. Try it...you will see what I am talking about...and GM does NOTHING to fix the problem.

I hate statistics like this. It really has nothing to do with how the vehicle performs in the crash...it's more telling about who buys and operates them...

Sorry, when I said 'wish there was a delete post', I meant *my* post. Not OP's.

I had started to debunk/argue/whatever, then thought the better of it, but unfortunately had already posted a start before I thought better of it, and so there we are. Wasn't worth posting after I thought some more.

Ah well.

Sorry guys. That's what I mean. Not to delete OP's.

If that is, in fact, what you're LOLin' about, Glenn.

Nope I was laughing at what must have been a very rare indecisive moment for you.

Not that I am a GM fan by any means. Only three GM's I had were all a pain in the A**. A couple were even very sharp cars, but they all got to my wallet in the end. One was even a 1/2 ton pickup so I am just glad I never wrecked one after seeing this.

I will take a Ford or most Jeeps any day.

It's not really worth using as a shopping reference, since that study was on models that are 5 years old.

But I'm not surprised by most of those...they're what I think of as "cheap" cars, and I wouldn't be surprised to find out they don't have very many airbags. I've been shopping around lately, and 8-10 airbags seems pretty standard now.

I would expect better from Camaro, Silverado, and even the Focus. I know they mentioned that the Focus is better, but hopefully they've all improved in the last 5 years.
