No, I mean the car is crash tested against itself. And not against cars in the same class or a variety of cars that can be encountered on the road. I agree that small cars can be made to be safe nominally, but one cannot argue with the mass component of the kinetic energy equation. I say this as someone who drives a car that weighs slightly above a ton, and I'm well aware that I'd likely be on the losing end of any collision with another vehichle on the road.
