It is the truck feel I am used to which makes me feel safe, unlike the X5 which is like a sports car. As far as accidents go, my Denali would get a scratch where as any other car would be wrecked. The X5 gets touched by another car, and a big hole appears in the bumper/panel. Also, your drive within a couple inches of a curb, and your wheel gets a chunk taken out of it. |
It's not about how your sheet metal stay's unscathed in an accident-- it's the passengers in the car. If you want a car that doesn't get dented you might as well get an old pick-up truck. Safety has nothing to do with weight of a vehicle--- X5's have a designed crumple zone cage. And safety isn't about just getting hit, it's about having engineering that prevents you from getting hit. Try an emergency lane change in your Denali at 75 MPH and see how you feel about it's safety compared to an X5.
