sa jeepney naman nde yun impact papatay sayo kundi yun matutulis at matitigas sa loob ng jeepney.

Thats true a vehicle with alot of safety features are more expensive..well this just urges us to drive more safely..we should always have our thinking caps on especially with loved ones on board.

Another problem would be that these vehicles don't protect the passenger cabin at all.

as otep has noted, most truck-based SUV's perform poorly in such a demanding test as an offset barrier test (the offset test is of course, much more difficult to pass than the standard full frontal crash test). and also, that an offset barrier test is NOT required in government safety certification for vehicles (not even in the US or Europe)

kahit 1997 Ford F-150 ganyan din yung result sa offset crash test. same with the 1997 Chevy Venture. (to name just two) yung gen2 pajero din ata masagwa din yung result hehe.

I don't think it's a "made in china" issue.

good post
