That means if I was driving the dodge ram and had a head in collision with smart car, the dodge ram would be a total loss???

Dangerous to the other car the Ram hits maybe

 

[George Farris]

Matt, meant absolutely no offense against you - just the dweeb who wrote the article ....

Thanks Bruce! This would Help explain it wouldn't it!

Its just like the tree huggers that say the H2'S are a Killing Machine (I also would rather be in it than the smart car when they meet)! Matter of Fact I bought a Hybrid H2!

It doesn't matter which vehicle is the most dangerous or the safest. All of them have to meet oppressive government safety restrictions and the difference between first to worst is negligible. If choosing a car based on safety ratings is important to anyone then they better not leave their house...and don't use the bathroom either.

Or a Ford GT. I wonder how much PAC money the Dems and Republicrats got from the greenie weenies to get their POS approved.

I was involved in a wreck this past Tuesday. I was sitting in the back seat on the passenger side when a Semi t-boned us doing 60-70 mph on a gravel road. The 70 year old woman driver ran through the intersection on a country road. We were doing about 50 mph when we got hit and was pushed 70-100 feet away into a field. The truck is a total loss but all 3 passengers in the Ram survived with nothing more than bruises and some minor scrapes. It could have been a lot worse!

Wow what a mess, I'am glad your all ok this proves the NHTSA report spins the wheel to pick the vehicles.

 

[blackandblue01]

Holy smokes, So glad your were all ok!!!!

 

[DrumrBoy]

Real world datapoint, RAMs are acceptable in side impacts.

Glad you're OK and thanks for posting the pix.

Jance

Glad you are OK! That is one ugly mess!



As to the OP, the article is based on bogus info.

The 2013 Ram is a newly designed vehicle with very little design carryover from the 2012 model. Even the frame has been reengineered.

So they can shoot off their mouth all they want, they can't condemn a new vehicle when no one has driven one to see reliability, dependability, or "tested it" in a collision.

Its like saying oh, the 1960 300 is a dangerous car (compared to the new one). No kidding.....genius.....

Just another typical media outlet putting Chrysler down. Sadly, has been this was for close to 50 years.......

 

[The_Greg]

And why is a financial institution writing this article???

Consider the source. And then write them with a big ***!!

 

[mattdillon]

Jance, that was way too close! Glad you're OK & thanks for the pics. You ought to send them a few of those pics (person who wrote the article) & tell them just how UNSAFE they are!

Was everyone wearing seatbelts? Not being a dick, but many people in back seats don't wear seatbelts, just curious if you were. No criticism or judgment, just honest curiosity.

And sadly the majority of society doesn't question, analyze or even attempt to apply contrasting logic to what the media gods publish. Instead, they read it, heard it or saw it so it must be true. There is more honesty and truthfulness on internet discussion boards than there is in traditional mainstream media.

yes, the masses will believe the first thing they here,from the first source,then scurry to tell the next follwer,and on an on. the human brain is so smart,and so stupid also

Man....

I'm just happy everyone is OK......

Much rather be in a truck than a compact car

 

[MoparBoyy]

Dodge Ram vs Smart Car, i'd take the Ram.

 

[Jance GTS]

Thanks everyone! I actually blacked out for about 20 minutes when the semi hit us and don't remember how I got out of the truck. I DO NOT have a concussion I was just knocked out from the impact. All three of us in the truck were wearing our seatbelts and we all have bruises from the seatbelt but that beats the alternative markings we could have had without them. I probably wouldn't be here if I wasn't wearing mine.

I've lost 2 friends who were not wearing their seatbelts so I always make sure I wear mine.

I also lost a shirt and pair of pants from scissors in the ER. hahahaha

Question: How can a truck be the most dangerous car? So, my neighbor has a dog and he is the fastest turtle...
