Mustang Belle.

It just seems to me that you reacted the same way the every day Joe will when they read the story.

Overreacting. Big time.

As for not asking everything to be 100% safe, it seems that your asking for 99.9 percent. Which is unrealistic.

Its unrealistic to expect no fire in an accident. And its unrealistic to expect no chassis flex of a unibody car(Which is the culprit usually for stuck doors)

As for reinforcing the chassis, with Unibody cars the roof is a major structural point of the car. Thats been know for many of years now. As for throwing in more reinforcements on the chassis, that adds wieght.

Weight decreases gas mileage.

The gas mileage of the cars sold dictates how many big SUV's the manufacture can make in order to meet Federal regulations.

It all trickles down.
