Your actual science puts the lie to your accusation of 'hype':
Chevy S10 Blazer 4dr: 195 - 102 from rollover! Jeep Gr Cherokee 4dr: 78 - 36 roll Ford Explorer 2dr: 231 - 102 roll Ford Explorer 4dr: 103 - 49 roll Isuzu Rodeo 4dr: 151 - 99 roll
Mazda MX-5 Miata: 59 - 5 roll
By your logic, the Miata should be an undertaker's dream yet it handily beats out all the major SUVs. As do many other average sized cars.
Let's not forget that in this country many people have their identity strangly twisted up with the car that they drive, so if more people have dies in Hyundai Accents maybe it's not just because of the car's intrinsic safety. Maybe the kind of person that buys that model is a poor driver (these are insurance stats after all.)
