I'm going to take a look at explorer, flex and sorento and see how they compare to highlander...

mazda 5 is an interesting thought i image it's probably not as safe as the heavier SUV's though...

All of them are car based unibody crossovers, I think safety probably is more about design than it is sheer size. We have friends that were absolutely crushed by a semi in their Honda Odyssey, even their 8 year old in the 3rd row seat (where the truck hit) was ok except for some cuts that required stitches.
