that front end makes a very stable crash vehicle, no doors to buckle... two piece design, rigid and light. build it out of carbon fiber and hydroformed aluminum unibody and you got a VERY solid crash vehicle... only problem is it's inertia that gets you in an accident. 2.5 ton vehicle hits you at 35 MPH and you weigh 1 ton or less and you get battered like you were going 60... the vehicle is more stable, but YOU get to absorb more of the impact.
like the guy said, I would love it IF all the SUV's and Semis were off the road.
Great for the total defensive driver, but if you have cellphonitus or text messagealria while driving... you won't live long in it.
