If you were going to be in a head-on collision between an Expedition and a Civic, which one would you rather be in? After all it shouldn't matter since weight doesn't make any difference right?

Oh interesting, small cars have 117 accident deaths per million cars, and large cars have 58. Gee you're right, no difference there!
