I would have rather had a Suburban, I suppose...

I don't know why but aftermarket limo's don't have to meet Federal safety standards. Plus consider most people don't wear seatbelts while in the back. Not a good scenario when a collision occurs. And your very right about limo's being simply a stretched version of a regular vehicle. The "stretch" area of one of these things is the weakest area and basically becomes the "crumple zone" .
