I DON'T HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT A SPECIFIC MAKE OR MODEL...I HAVE AN OVERALL COMPLAINT ABOUT HOW THIN CARS ARE TODAY AND HOW MUCH THEY ARE NOT PROTECTING THE OCCUPANTS. MY BROTHER WAS KILLED 2 WEEKS AGO AFTER HYDROPLANING AT ABOUT 35 MPH. I KNOW HEAVIER VEHICLES USE MORE GAS BUT AREN'T LIVES WORTH IT? I KNOW THAT AS A NATION WE HAVE BECOME VERY MONEY CONSCIOUS AND GAS MILEAGE IS A BIGGIE BUT EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD SOMEONE KILLED IN A SENSELESS ACCIDENT MIGHT FEEL DIFFERENTLY AFTERWARD. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT IF ANYTHING IS BEING DONE IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE TO CHANGE THE TREND AND MAKE CARS MORE PROTECTIVE.
