Aren't you like guaranteed to die if you get in a crash in one of those things?

I mean yeah that would be good for the environment but I don't think Full On Murder Everyone is a politically viable solution.

Yes an early 90's car is very unsafe by modern standards, and the Geo Metro was significantly less safe than its contemporaries based on injury rates. And this isn't just about its ability to absorb collisions, it's also about the ability to avoid them- a stock 92 Geo Metro had laughably terrible braking and acceleration capabilities (220 feet to stop from 70mph, no ABS, and 13.1 seconds to reach 60mph).

Cash for clunkers was still a really bad program. :ssh:
