E class safest car/SUV on the road....
According to today's NY TImes....
A new report by the Insurance Instt for Highway Safety has rthe mercedes E class with the lowest fatality rate of ANY car/SUV/pickup on the road. The numbers are stunning, with E class having 10 fatalities per million registered vehicles with Chevvy Blazer having 308!!. This is partly due to design and partly due to driving habits, however, Jaguar S type was 68.
This report was done on 1999-2002 model years (W210) during 2000 to 2003 time frame.

I really love the idea of this! People complain a lot about these cars but I think it is great and this safety report makes it that much better (especially given the miles that I drive)...
By the way, I am surprised to see the S behind the E (even though it is not by much). Strange because I just assumed it would do better.
