Yep, my wife rear-ended a delivery truck in our older Audi and totalled it -- with the kids in the car; everyone was OK, but after that she would not consider anything that didn't have collision avoidance systems and safety at least as good as the Audi we had. I'm glad she wasn't in our older Kia. There would have been injuries.

Exactly. Though I will say there are lots and lots of people who get cars they cannot afford or pay stupid money for ones, and there's way more of them then people who can afford more but choose the cheaper car.
