This isn't surprising, considering how Germany is doing better economically than America. But of course they're doing better BECAUSE of Obama's redistribution of wealth ponzi scheme, it wasn't enough for America to defend other nations of the world. Bernanke had to go even further to extend Greenspan's legacy in providing trillions to a country that insists on doing less for more.

i agree on communication part
because i believe that driving suv does not make you safer. your driving skills do. i also believe(use to work at body shop and still have friend,who own one) that MB's are superior in safety over any suv,cause i know how they built.
look what world leaders are using for their rides.there is no f *volvo's.

SUV are safer than cars in a crash, it's basic physics. The link you have is about rollovers only which was a problem on the older suvs and Jeeps(deathtrap). Nowdays all luxury suv and most standard suv have rollover protection, this is a non-issue.
During a crash:
1) Taller wheelbase vehicle will always have an advantage over a lower vehicle.
2) A vehicle with more mass will always have an advantage over a smaller/lighter vehicle.
SUV is both taller and has more mass, cars are the latter.
------------------------------------------
Volvo do make some of the safest cars, go do some research, there are countless crashes where volvo saved their drivers life. Even though most cars nowdays are safe and 5 stars, i know for a fact volvo is much safer built compared to other vehicles. It's difficult to explain if you never took one apart, go checkout a volvo s80, the doors are built like a tank - solid and heavy. Then look at the doors of most other vehicles - much lighter. I dont drive a volvo because they only have average handling, but for my woman there is nothing better than a volvo to keep her safe.
------------------------------------------
The reason the driver survived that crash is because the vehicle was lucky enough to bump the side of the road almost in parallel - essentially acting as a break, then glided through. Of course the car is very well built as the roof did not collapse during the flip, but NOTHING will survive a 120mph crash where the car actually hits an obstacle.
We are in agreement that mb makes some great cars, but most of what you said is fundamentally wrong.
