"Most of those "eco-friendly" cars have abysmal crash safety records."

Lets turn that around.
The behemoth SUV that americans have been encouraged to drive is no safer for its passengers in a collision, but is about three times as likely to kill the other guy. And they are more likely to get into collisions in the first place, being more top-heavy and far less maneuverable.
Get the 7,000 pound juggernauts off the road and the "eco-friendly" cars will be much safer. As will everyone else.-

Nobody "encouraged" Americans to buy SUVs - they did it on their own volition. And quite frankly, eco-friendly cars don't just crash into SUVs - they crash into regular sedans, trees, tunnel walls and guard rails.
