Asian cars are tin cans.
I’d much rather put my family in a 5,500lb Ford Expedition than a Toyota Camry. An Expedition will generally smoke a Camry (or similiar) any day of the week.[/quote]
Even when you compare apples to apples (Silverado vs F150 vs Ram vs Tundra) the Toyota loses. The Tundra is the only one of those that didn’t get a 5 star rating:

Really depends…If you compare the passenger sedans apples to apples it’s all over the map..Ditto with suv’s
Actually, part of the reasons why I drive european is for the longest time, european crash standards were more stringent than U.S. And the european makers have always been the one pushing the envelope for new safety tech….Now if they would just work on their reliability/serviceability….
As far as the airbags not deploying, depends on how the impact was….However, assuming this was frontal impact at a signficant speed, yeah I’d file a complaint with NTSB and with the manufacturer.
But hands down, a smackdown between a small car and a large truck/suv…large truck/suv wins.
