I think the data is misleading. It implies there's something safer about the physical car, its structure etc while the trends may be due to the age ranges, emotional maturity, sense of responsibility etc of the average driver for the particular model. Just look at the "safest" car (Chrysler Sebring). IMO that's a car for relatively conservative drivers. While the most dangerous car (Nissan 350z) is IMO driven more often by younger, less responsible people.
