- DennisP 5y agoFrom a quick glance at that, a Chevy Malibu with a 0-60 of 7.8 seconds has a worse death rate than a Corvette, which has a time of around three seconds.
- willis936 5y agoThe Malibu has a multi-vehicle crash death rate (MV) of 36 and single-vehicle crash death rate (SV) of 24. The Corvette is 4 and 53. Individual model comparisons aren't of much consequence (especially with such incomplete data), but trends are. If you scan the MV and SV columns in the midsize and large sections and compare it to the sports car and 2-door sections you'll see the trend I'm highlighting. The pdf linked on that page is helpful for this. https://www.iihs.org/api/datastoredocument/status-report/pdf/55/2 https://www.iihs.org/api/datastoredocument/status-report/pdf...
