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

Hmmm. Let's sit down and think about this real hard for about 5 seconds. Why do you suppose so many more deaths happen in small cars? Think maybe it's because people are buying giant land barges instead of normal sized cars? Think maybe those wonderful SUV's are killing people because of their size?
What SUV "safety" proponents are proposing is an arms race. Pretty soon nearly every car will be as big as an SUV, so NOW to be "safe" we've gotta start driving something bigger. Why not cut out the middle stuff and go straight to driving Kenworths? They're REALLY safe, right?
