They look horrific after accidents because of the way they are designed to crumple on impact and absorb energy from the crash. However with SUVs and Trucks getting so tall it's getting to be a problem. In my hatchback, when I'm sitting next to a truck or large SUV at a light or in a parking lot or something, my window is usually inline with their wheel well. If one of these vehicles was to T-bone me, it's not just the door, and side of my car taking the blow.. It's my window, and even roof line taking the hit. I can understand wanting to lift yourself up to try and negate these fears.. But it only serves to perpetuate the problem. In another twenty years people will be dropping their kids off to soccer practice in monster trucks.</blockquote>
