W210: safest car

Number came out from Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This probably explain why W210 owner ususally enjoy lower insurance cost.

Just when I thought I could'nt possibly love my car anymore. The S class looks pretty scary though.

I think the #'s for the Cadillac's are from owners being shot rather than dying from a crash.

08 Lexus GS350 AWD. 08 Lexus RX350 AWD - wife's. 94 MBZ E320 - still have it.
Plus old farts that drive Cadillacs and S-class are more fragile and more likely to die in a crash.

I thought it was just me when i got my car and add to my insurance policy, it was hard for me to believe how low my full coverage is, I thought it was gonna be high. Kudos Mercedes!

Mine is $200 than when I had the GS300. And my W211 is even lower (by another $100).

The insurance costs (full coverage) on my W210 E320 were also lower than my new TL. Surprising to see this information. I'm kind of bumbed I dont have the W210 anymore since I now have an E350 but nevertheless I still feel damn safe in that car as well.
