Equalizer, a good point about women driving SUVs, making the fatalities proportionally less for SUVs.

The edmunds.com article on the 2005 fatalities ony discussed trucks and young males. Likely, there is no way for us on this board to control and factor in driver characteristics as a percentage of drivers of certain vehicles leading to more or less fatalities.

Thanks for the insightful comments, unlike the OP (from my perspective).

I guess I’ll just take my chances in my large American Sedan.
