Quote:This illustrates a key point: Simply looking at the historical death rates for one particular model might not give much insight into the relative danger, or safety, of driving that vehicle. Furthermore, the most recent available federal data, interpreted by make and model by the IIHS, covers 2001 to 2004 model years in calendar years 2002 to 2005. Many models have had significant changes in safety equipment or complete redesigns since then.

Also noted in the article, it doesn't account for age group. ie the Focus would on average be driven by younger, less experienced drivers. Based on some of the accidents I read here, that would be true.
