Yeah, I saw that. Sounds a bit bias to me... not that I count Beetles or anything else from that era safe, LOL. I understand the logic behind the Bus but seems like the Beetle's fault is apparently the optional gas heater that a lot of bugs did not have at all?! That's retarded.
And the Corvette... does Corvette has spaceframe/unibody no? If so, why the hell does it matter if body panels are fiberglass or not?

The #1 was a 73 to 78(?) Chevy pickup ??? Then why did they post a picture of a 72? Idiots!

The only fault given the Beetle was the fear of the gas heater.  So I guess by their standards, a Beetle without a gas heater is perfectly safe.
