I know the miatas are good for track racing, but as a DD car, i would feel like i should have a flower from the Beetle on my dash. Doesnt matter whats under the hood, it still is a miata

I don't hate Hondas (well maybe the new ugly ones that are coming out), I just hate most of the the young D-bags owners that can't afford nice things and try to steal my Honda. If they don't want to steal my car then they want to race me even though they see my 85 year old Grandma in the front seat. I love my Type-R that I sold to get my G.

Unfortunately there isn't a more recent article from the IIHS that breaks down the stats by model. Sure enough the Neon is one of the cars with the highest fatality rates, but not as bad as the 350Z. The G35 does well, probably because of its weight, size, and you can't get one without stability control and side airbags. I'm sure the typical driver plays a big part as well. When the report was compiled in 2007, there probably weren't many teenagers driving G35s.

A car so effeminate, it's actually named after part of the female anatomy... the Honda CRVex (oops, I seem to have forgot a space

When it comes to car safety, I say forget about the ridiculous star system and just see how many people fatal accidents occur in a given model:

there is a turbo TC (greddy) in my area, and this kid paid over $20K for the car already turboed (I know the price, because the dealership he got it from tried to sell me the car prior) and i've come across him on the streets and that thing is still slow as hell. and to me, a TC is for asian girls only.
Hell, your trans am is probably still being driven somewhere.
