Hi!
Ally, I think you are talking about "small" cars being "unsafe". (and green cars aren't necessarily small, and vice versa).
Trick question:
Which is safer (less deaths per 100,000 miles driven):
Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Ford Expedition, Chevy Suburban?
Answer: None of the above. They all have about the same death rate per 100,000 miles driven.
Safest would be a large sedan: Toyota/Lexus/Infiniti/Buick, etc.
