Regarding "American" cars vs. Toyota, check this out:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081125/ap_on_bi_ge/safe_cars
Please note that American-made cars now include Toyotas, Saabs,
Volkswagens, BMWs, etc., and likewise those made overseas consist of
many American-made components, including engines and transmissions.
There are no clear-cut pedigrees anymore, haven't been for a few years.
Note what they said about Chrysler:
"IIHS said Chrysler LLC was the only major automaker that did not
receive a single award. They said Chrysler could have picked up five
awards if the head restraints had been improved in the Dodge Avenger and
Chrysler Sebring, the Sebring convertible and the Dodge Grand Caravan
and Chrysler Town and Country.
Chrysler spokesman Cole Quinnell said he could not comment on whether
the head restraints might be upgraded in the future. He said Chrysler
vehicles are equipped with a variety of safety features and the
institute's results "are just one of the sources of information about a
vehicle's crash performance."
