You don't even make research before you give out inormation, the safest car in the world is a volvo I think V60 (not that XC90) or so I have forgotten and I know there are better cars than what you have listed here try to make research before you post we in car talk are informed, not perfect but we are informed.

I keep wondering why Autosbay just dish out anything he likes. Safest car and there's no BMW? Well, I may not be a car guru but I'm more than this things you always push out.

No MDX?

I must admit...the list is pretty darn accurate....only that its for the 2011 model year, so lots of the attached pics are inaccurate. These cars were known to have 0 fatalities though the 2011ish model years.
