and i wouldnt doubt that its higher cuz sports cars are more expensive and insurence agencies know they can get away with charging more.

umm...ok a shitty suspension is gonna be more of a factor in the flipping than 4WD...most newer SUV's are designed to prevent roll...and the 4x4 only helps to keep traction in sharp turns...a corvette is gonna be more likely to slide of the cliff than the SUV rolling off the cliff

sojo- i think the majority of SUV's cost more than the majority of sports cars..or probably the same....for example...the hummer or escalade rank up w/ the viper or corvette...and the jeeps,suburbans, tahoes, etc. rank w/ the camaros, T/A's, etc. etc.

fearcrest- unless im shown real evidence...i dont believe SUV's cause more crashes or deaths than sportscars...which would u rather be inside of when u crash....a suburban or a camaro

depends what kinda crash,

you should look up why SUV's are some of the most unsafe cars out there today, you would be surprised to find out, these "safe" cars arnt all what there said to be.

#1. that information is based on a statistic from 1996
#2. "In 1996, about 30 percent of all passenger deaths involved crashes in which a vehicle rolled over"..it sounds like im lucky to have died in a rollover...cause the odds were against me of dying that way
#3. the number of deaths a year from rollover is just a fraction compared to all other car related deaths

i dont know why im still arguing..or what im even arguing about..so ill stop now
