Forbes has gathered what they believe to be the safest new cars on the market. They searched through Consumer Reports, Department of Transportation, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) to compile the list of the top 20 safest cars of 2007.
What is interesting about this list is that most of the vehicles are midsize vehicles. Higher gas prices have forced many consumers to downsize their vehicles, but are they sacrificing safety in order to save a few bucks at the pump?
Here is the list:
Acura RDX
Acura RL
Audi A4
Audi A6
BMW Z4 Coupe / Convertible
Chevrolet Corvette
Ford Freestyle
Honda Civic
Jaguar XJ
Lexus SC
Lincoln Town Car
Mazda MX-5 Miata
Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
Mercury Grand Marquis
Porsche Boxster
Saab 9-3
Saab 9-5
Subaru Forester
Volkswagen Passat
Volvo XC90
