Very interesting...The W210 E class has 15 (per million) few deaths than the W220 S-Class. You would think the larger and more technologically advanced S-class would fare better than the W210 E-class.

haha...that could be very true. That's the question I have about how the IIHS collects their data. Let's say one is excessively speeding...over 100mph and get's into an accident vs. one who is driving under the speed limit?
To me somethings in the report don't add up...For example, how can a Toyota Rav-4 rank higher up than a BMW X5 (previously, given the IIHS's highest marks on their crash tests)?
Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy the E class did very well in the rankings, but there seems to be too many variables that are unaccounted for in the data set.
