Least Safe American Car
Saturn Ion coupe and sedan
Base price: $12,490
The Ion is the only American car to have the worst Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash-test scores in its weight class and a "substantially worse [i.e., higher] than average" frequency of injury claims filed, according to the Highway Loss Data Institute. On its Web site, the HLDI states that "vehicles with high death rates often have high frequencies of insurance claims for occupant injuries."
