最近看到一辆撞了的bmw 3 ,06的新车，外观看撞的不轻,很诧异,毕竟过去认为德国车尤其是宝马很结实,于是问了一位有几十年body经验的师傅,得到答复，德国车注重车内安全，发生事故，外面看来很严重，但是车内一点问题也没有，他设计的原则是人身安全,那我问，什么车安全?实用?他说,综合看来,日本车不错,但指的是大型车，也就是camry或者雅阁以上的的大型车，这些车很结实，同品牌不同型号的车底盘构造是不同的，佳美的底盘有一个很结实的圈梁,这个在小型车是没有的，美国车相对结实，但是小毛病非常多，2年的新车经常整天去修,欧洲车很好,问题是配件修理非常贵,简直的天价,举个例子,他说一个前灯新的价格在1200左右,别的就别说了,不是夸奖日本车，只是这些是那位师傅的原话.

not all jap cars are reliable, Honda and Toyota are very reliable, but others are just ok or not quite good. Japanese car are definately not among the safest, Honda/Toyata are just average or even below average, while nissan, suzuki, mitubushi are among the worst in regard to safty.
9 {- f7 k9 {" I9 l, a( wThe safest car are europian cars, like vw, volvo, MB, bmw, audi, their injury rate can be 1/2 or 1/3 of those less safe ones.
american cars in general have average safty rating, and have a reliablity rating quite similar to europian cars(less reliable than Honda/Toyota), but they can be fixed cheaper than jap cars, and much cheaper than europian cars.

Cars will have more and more problems when it's getting older. In general a certain year's american/europian car's reliablility is quite similar to a 3 or 4 more years older Honda/Toyota.

but all these are statistical numbers. Each model each year each car is so different, and the people who drive it is different, the care/maintanance is different.

1. The trend is that larger cars are safer and more expensive cars are safer. There isn't such a trend about country of origin. If you look at "large luxury cars" (the category with most brands at similar prices), Euro cars range from best(1) to 2nd worst(-2), Jap cars are from +4 to -4, American cars are from +2 to -1.
7 ~$ U# O: [+ }! k
9 @# f5 G( [* Z6 F( ?, k# ?2. The data is heavily dependent on driver behavior. Sometimes it outweighs the true safty level of the cars. Ex: Toyota Prius has much lower injury rate than BMW 5, it's almost the same as the BMW 7. Do you think the BMW engineers are dumb or what? Got beaten by a much smaller and cheaper car?

3. I am not saying Taurus is large or midsize. That's not my point. My point is that you should provide consistant data. If you do not agree with it, provide something you do agree with, before posting.

1. "The trend is that larger cars are safer and more expensive cars are safer." If I want to act like you, I would point out multiple exceptions (smaller car is safer than large ones), but I won't do that, since I'm just honest. IF you simply can't find the trends that I said, fine with me. Other people may still want to know, and judge for themselves.

2. Again you're picking exceptions. Prius has been on market for 6 or 7 years, but BMW-5 has been out for like more than 30 year. Statistically(if you know what I'm talking about) the data are not even equally reliable.
. A6 X0 k( q- f* P! `3 w- Y7 o* z
3. My point is always this, Taurus Camry Accord are all mid-size car according to industry standard.and taurus is safer than the other two. the article I gave you indicate taurus is large doesnt negate the fact that taurus is a mid-size car according to industry standard, and it's fair to compare it with camry and accord.
4 R. p2 D& _3 A0 ^4 ?( n6 \6 k

1. The trend is that larger cars are safer and more expensive cars are safer. There isn't such a trend about country of origin. If you look at "large luxury cars" (the category with most brands at similar prices), Euro cars range from best(1) to 2nd worst(-2), Jap cars are from +4 to -4, American cars are from +2 to -1.

) {  p) A6 c6 n4 r6 m) a2. The data is heavily dependent on driver behavior. Sometimes it outweighs the true safty level of the cars. Ex: Toyota Prius has much lower injury rate than BMW 5, it's almost the same as the BMW 7. Do you think the BMW engineers are dumb or what? Got beaten by a much smaller and cheaper car?

3 f: y( M+ z5 y1. "The trend is that larger cars are safer and more expensive cars are safer." If I want to act like you, I would point out multiple exceptions (smaller car is safer than large ones), but I won't do that, since I'm just honest. IF you simply can't find the trends that I said, fine with me. Other people may still want to know, and judge for themselves.

3. My point is always this, Taurus Camry Accord are all mid-size car according to industry standard.and taurus is safer than the other two. the article I gave you indicate taurus is large doesnt negate the fact that taurus is a mid-size car according to industry standard, and it's fair to compare it with camry and accord.

4. OMG you don't even understand the info you posted! "Collision" has nothing to do with numbers of collision. It represents the repair claims (in $ value) for that model. The offical definition is "Collision losses indicate the relative average loss payments per insured vehicle year filed under collision coverages." Lexus LS having less "collision" than BMW indicates that the Lexus cost less to repair. Insurers always charge more for the policy if the brand is known to be expensive to repair.

5. Your data only showed "injury loss" score and "collison loss" score. You never showed any "collsion rate." If you are not guessing, please give an explanation as why the Prius beats BMW 5-series? My explaination is that driver behaviors are different. Since you do not agree with that, give me your explaination.

Could you please go back to my original post, did I ever say american cars are safe? I said they are average, just like toyota, but they are usually better than honda(slightly) and the rest Jap cars.

I hate to do this but take  all mid-size car for example
; z( y$ I5 U/ u9 g% d1 Z7 ^5 ?average injury rate, the lower the safer.
, w/ j7 S4 X' V! u) s; `9 h
europian car   87
American car  92

Just some elementary school math, divide the mid-size car category into 3 group(EU, Americ, Jap), and
average each groups score, the lower score, the lower injury rate, the better. That's the trends I was talking about, if you can't see it, or think 87 is more than 135, I'm sorry that I wasted so much time (on both of us).

, N, ^# q! j# N: a1 gIt's not completely safe to say that BMW has more collision number, but it's either not reasonable to say that the total cost for BMW is much higher simply because it fix expensive not because it has more collision.

Every car has it's advantage and disadvantage, but people won't have time to investigate on each model each year. That's why I gave such statement like german cars are the safest, toyota/honda are the most reliable, american cars are large and cheap to fix. it's definitly not strictly scientifically sound but acceptable by the public. If you keep looking for the very few exceptions, don't argue with me here, not the right place.

Your method is flawed in two ways:
% N  L, ]5 R/ r
1) Different models have different weight. You simply cannot average Toyota Camry with Mitsubishi Galant linearly, since the former out sells the latter more than 10 to 1.

' q9 E% W( K- W' M* u- D2) You didn't consider price. As you already said, Avalon is more expansive, thus we cannot just compare it to Taurus.
$ A+ e- u& x: G' l9 p+ N5 b; j% p
In a way, you are right. The average German car is safer, since the average German car is more expansive. In Canada, the top selling BMW is the 3-series, and the top-selling Toyota is Corolla. And we know the former is better. But, just read my post #37. Is that kind of comparison meaningful? As far as I know, the new Lexus IS 250/350 beats the BMW 3 in crash test ratings.
