Hitting the wall
And on the subject of SUVs sucking, check out this comparison between crashing a MINI Cooper and a Ford F-150 Pickup (the latter is the basis of the Expedition.) Pay special attention to the crash dummies’ legs.
These results are for hitting a wall at 40 MPH, and not representative of a head-on collision between the two.
But, of course, I consider the whole bigger is better in a collision argument to be anti-social: you only increase your protection in a larger vehicle to the same extent by which you increase your endangerment of everyone else. If everyone’s in an SUV, all advantage is lost.
