Which Class of Motor Vehicle Is Safest?

Total Occupant Fatalities Per 100,000 Miles (2004):

Compact Cars 17.76
Compact Pickups 16.87
Subcompact Cars 16.85
Midsized SUVs 16.16
Standard Pickups 13.87
Fullsize SUVs 12.34
Fullsize Cars 12.16
Midsize Cars 11.49
Minvans 11.05
Large Vans 9.34

High fatality rates for SUVs and Pickups are driven by rollover accidents. For the record, I drive a midsize car.
