If you had a choice between a Prius and a Crown Vic which one would give you the highest chance of survival in a 60 mph crash ?.
I'm not sure what the ability of a Crown Vic is in a crash. It's is big(ger).
Vehicles vary quite a bit in their crash / roll over testing, regardless of size.
But, to answer your question, I'll take my 6000+ pound GMC 2500 HD Duramax diesel crew cab 4x4 pickup. About 20 mpg highway with sane driving, beau coup power to tow anything, and a commanding view of the road.
I had a traffic accident in that vehicle. Let's just say that they put a new hood and bumper on mine, and had to do a lot more on the other car.
However, using the reasoning here, I should probably just get the biggest vehicle that can fit on the highway "for safety". Maybe a 14 ton MRAP ?
