NEWS FLASH! Badly made small cars: Not Safe!
Of course, although it seems like it's cheaply made small cars that seem to do bad in the Institute for Highway Safety's offset crash test, you know that the story was being spun to say that ALL small cars were dangerous. I wish I had the video clip but yes, one of the morning national network news shows did just that. They spun the whole story to say that small cars were of course more dangerous, silly. They even used a clip from the spokesman from the Institute for Highway Safety saying that "Of course, you're in more danger in a smaller car", but what my keen ear heard, was that the sound bite was not even a complete sentence. What was the rest of the sentence? My guess is that you're in more danger in a smaller car when a larger car/truck hits you. Of course, does the same rule apply to every small car? No. Does the same rule apply to every large car/truck? Again, no.
But heck, why bother with the full truth?
