Probablly though sequoia has a smaller market share…Anyone have the that number? (too lazy to lookup)

Also, I’d say some of these numbers are skewed not because the car is “unsafe”, but because the type of drivers that drive those cars aren’t…

IE:

1) Wannabe Riceboys
Acura RSX 202
Nissan 350Z 193

2) Wannabe Mullets
Ford Mustang 150
