Check out this article above.  To summarize, it appears that the more expensive your car is, generally, the safer it is in a crash.

From the article:

“We found that vehicle type, curb weight and price are all significant predictors of personal injury cost,” said Dietrich Jehle, a professor of medicine and biomedical research at the University of Buffalo. “For every additional $10,000 you spend, injuries go down by almost 12 percent. We also found that for every 1,000-pound increase in weight, vehicles were 19 percent safer.”

That’s pretty compelling stuff.

So if you’re interested in keeping yourself and your family safer on the road, spend more on a car.  More specifically, spend more on a heavier car.

Now, where did all of those Hummer dealerships go…?
