They are safer in some areas but most newer small cars remain vulnerable to side impact. Especially when struck by larger vehicles. Take this crash for instance run the 59 into the side of the Malibu. The light weight unitized body on the Malibu would more than likely be a death shroud for it's occupants as the thicker sheet metal and heavy steel X frame of the 59 plowed through like freight train.

"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a brave and scarce man, hated and scorned.
When the cause succeeds, however, the timid join him...for then it cost nothing to be a patriot."
_ Mark Twain
