When I bought my previous truck, I noticed that the dealership had a printout of pages and pages of insurance stats of how much the insurance companies paid out for accidents involving a particular vehicle compared to an average vehicle.

(the most recent stats for pickup trucks)

And then there's the question of how much it typically costs to repair a vehicle if it gets into an accident. Someone has done a study of what it costs to replace the front of a vehicle after a low speed collision. The price varied significantly, even with in a segment (i.e. small SUV).
