Despite all the talk about which car is faster and whatnot, saving your life is most important. I doubt a lesser brand would have saved their lives. A friend of mine thought it was ridiculous that I spent 50K on a BMW when his camry was 30K and faster. I mentioned the the whole surviving an accident and the matter did not seem so ridiculous to him.

That is WHY you give them a BMW they wouldnt have survived in a Civic.
Edit: Let me rephrase, I dont want Honda lawyers knocking on my door. "That is WHY you give them a BMW they wouldnt have survived in a car similar to say like a Civic"

I believe frontal impact ratings are better for an '09 civic than an '09 5er - five stars versus three.

This is why you don't give 19yr olds a 5:
Two teenagers are recovering from a car crash in Parley's Canyon that nearly left them underwater late Tue. night. The entire roof of the car was removed to get them out. Sam Lamb, 19-yr-old driver, was flown to Intermountain Medical Center with serious injuries. He is expected to be released sometime Wed. His passenger, 16-yr-old Lina Nguyen, was flown to the University of Utah Medical Center in critical condition.

Glad they survived at least.
Wasn't there someone on the board looking for an engine?

"Crews had to remove the entire roof of the car to get the teens out.
Sam Lamb, 19-year-old driver, was flown to Intermountain Medical Center in Murray with serious injuries. He has since been upgraded to fair and is expected to be released sometime Wednesday. His passenger, a 16-year-old Lina Nguyen, was flown to the University of Utah Medical Center in serious to critical condition.
Troopers say speeding likely caused the accident."
Accidents are almost a guaranteed outcome when the driver's ability is exceeded ... The smartest of cars cannot (always) compensate for dumb drivers! And, this isn't always measured in the number of years of driving experience - there are lots of very talented young drivers out there who take driving very seriously.
