Reflexes of an elephant, breaking distances of a 1960's car, handles like a drunk walking a narrow corridor, MPG that keep us slaves to the pump, and that perception of being "safe", as if healthy LOOKING hair is actually healthy hair.

Another prime example of this falacy brought on by the media to induce fear in the public, that you will not be safe unless you have a vehicle the size of Montana.
People sue the auto companies when ABS first came out...they didn't expect even to get in a crash, or Cruise Control which was mistaken for "auto-pilot". Now we have whole new generation of safe drivers...on the cell-phone, fading in and out of traffic like a drunk.
