Doesn't matter.
The point is, it doesn't matter how safe the government rated your car. You can still die in it. And it's still more dangerous to drive it than to jump out of an airplane. The safest car in the world could kill all it's occupants in a particular accident where the biggest POS would come out unscathed. You can't predict how an accident will happen, therefore you can't design a truly "safe" car. So why split hairs and worry yourself when this BS doesn't make a difference anyway?
