Re: MIKE Hunter's smal car v large car thesis is correct

Whether one chooses to agree or not is immaterial, the fact is one can not

No.

The evidence clearly says otherwise.

I'm sure it's true that a larger vehicle could be more easily engineered to
absorb more energy effectively than a smaller car, but quite simply, the
manufacturers don't bother doing that.

A crash test of the 'Landwind' comprehensively proves that.
