Are our Slants "Unsafe"?

i can tell you this about the safety of these older cars, about 7 years ago i was hit by some dumbass running a redlight. i was driving a 99 Intrepid. the car was totaled, i went to the hospital and spent 8 weeks going to the chiropractor. i was turning left and was hit in the left front corner by a 93 geo, very small car. the guy ws going so fast i spun 360 degrees. if i had been driving my valiant i am quite sure i would be dead or seriously crippled. also: my truck is a tank 69 W200 powerwagon. i have been hit three times in it, still have a picture of a nissan minivan wrapped around the front bumper no damage to my truck. my take is this..... these old cars are like putting an egg in a coffe can and droping it from the roof, the can may be ok or have a dent but the egg is still scrambled in side.
