There was an accident a few days ago in the Portland OR area where a compact car (a Sentra, not MB) got rear ended at about 55 mph by a Hummer H2 while broken down on a freeway off-ramp. Both of the passengers of the Sentra were killed while the driver of the H2 walked away with only minor injuries. The Sentra was destroyed in the wreck but the H2 barely had and damage. The wreck was ruled an accident and no citations were issued. Story at: http://katu.com/stories/82188.html
I'm curiuos to know how well say a 123, 124 or a 126 would have been in the same situation? There are lots of SUV's here in the Portland metro area and after something like this I would rather have my wife drive in her Tahoe than anything smaller like any of the MB's I've got.
