Mazda CX-7 and CX-9 "most dangerous"
Both appear on a list ot the "Most Dangerous Cars in America". While I'm not going to argue whether they are really dangerous or not, the article is not exactly good publicity.

another stupid articial from one of these so called "expert"
rollover scores poorly? dude most of those cars on the list have 20 inch wheels that's sit like a a foot above ground. of course it gets poor score.
not to mention, the problem is always the drivers, not the car, almost all drivers who drive a pick up had that2f2f in their blood,they speed, cut off whenever they like, etc

"usually got poor results elsewhere" but then dont mention that the Mazda's got actually good results everywhere else including 4/5 from JDP. plus they dont mention the scores from the other parts of the tests etc. the article linked to is much more harsh than the actual results for them all

Mis-labeling gets under my skin.
The implication of that title is that they are actively dangerous to be in period. As if the vehicle eats you or something. "Lowest crash test rated" is much more accurate. But the vehicles on that list simple would not be allowed to be sold in the US if they were actively unsafe in a crash.
For example:
This will never be sold in the US because it simply can not meet the safety standard. The 7 in that list DO meet the safety standard.
Not being at the top of the list doesn't mean you will instantly die if a pebble bounces off your bumper.

No, you have been actively dead for at least 2 years of that time. However, due to how dangerous the car is, the grim reaper couldn't take you yet, and is having you troll the highways of earth to grant him more victims.
