先说从下面数据得出的几个结论
最明显的是，中、大型车(Mid- & Large size)比超小型(Mini)或小型车（Small）更安全，特别要避免的是韩国和美国厂商的超小型轿车（Mini-size cars）
但是车型达到一定程度，追求最大并不能进一步提高安全度。画换句话说，最大型的车（Very large size）并不比中型或大型(Mid- or Large size)的车更安全。
SUV 的安全度和同样大小的 Cars 类似。
日本车的安全度并不比欧洲或美国车差（9个零死亡率里占5个），其中丰田（TOYOTA）厂家的安全性普遍高于同类型的其它车，而 NISSAN 车似乎是日本车里安全性最差的。
