Are our Slants "Unsafe"?

I work as a collision repair tech, I deal with this type of thing every day. If I had to pick a car to be in an accident in, hands down with would be a 90s or newer Volvo. Very safe cars. Newer cars are loaded with small features to save you! Example; hood hinges have built in "hooks" that prevent the hood from sliding back so in the event the car is invovled in a significant front end hit the hood is stoped from sliging back and bends up instead taking your head off. Engines and transmissions are mounted in a way that if the car suffers a severe frontal impact they go down and under the floor rather than just coming through the firewall and climbing into your lap. Instead of the steel bumper being mounted directly to a steel frame with rigid brackets, they have a plastic bumper cover, a foam impact absorber, and then a steel bumper bolted to fluid filled "shock" absorbers that are then bolted to the frame.

Those are just small examples, dont get me started on how much better quality the structual steel is, high stenght steels, ultra high strength steels, and the leaps and bonds better spot welding tech, etc...

Dont get me wrong, I abosolutely love my Valiant and old cars in general, but Id rather be un-injured and have my car totalled than be in a hospital and not able to got to work and pay my bills.
