Safest car on the road: Caddy Deville?!

Post by altimar »

Accident on Pont des Mouton hampers traffic "a Cadillac Deville struck a dump truck, overturning the truck which spilled dirt on the service road ...The driver of the dump truck was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.The driver of the Cadillac was not injured..."Or just Iron Man's personal car?

maybe it was a bulletproof S.E. probably weighed more than the dump truck.

I would argue that my mom's new car is the safest. She has her 2009 Volvo XC70 AWD. That thing is indestructable.

The XC70 is made with what's called Boron steel, they took the car rolled it 7 times at 40mph on an angle that ensure all the weak points would be hit. Upon landing upright the testors opened every door without jams or cave ins. Basically the structure was so strong it held up the door frames thus not needing to use any kind of equipment to free the passengers when time is of the essence.I still know the Big Caddy is a tank, just as our old station wagon was.
