A lot more people cone out of accidents in modern Accords without a scratch than their 1989 counterparts.

That's more because of things like airbags and crumple zones than bigger cars. Weight doesn't help you when you hit an overpass or a utility pole, and is only a relative advantage when you hit another car, so the average going up doesn't help anybody.
