Now if you were to tell me the 3 series was the best scoring model and voted IIHS car of the decade, that would be another story.
Safety is not a competition. It's a relative measure to the threats the car is subjected to. If it's a top pick, it means the survivability of a crash is pretty much as high as it gets.. It's a good thing Hyundai's get top picks too. Should wealthy people only survive a crash?

Why does everything have to boil down to whippin' the BMW shlongs out and proving it's bigger than any other manufacturers? Be happy you drive a safe car.
