This question has been bugging me for a while and hopefully I can get an answer to it. I’ve noticed that new cars are always named for the next year (i.e. 2009 Acura when the year is 2008), is there a reason for this or is it a sales gimmick?

How likely is it for the new hybrid vehicles to be totaled in a low speed car accident than older cars?

I was in a low speed crash with a Prius and wonder if that type of car has a higher probability of being totaled than cars more traditionally engineered.

It seems that in the last 7 years or so it’s as if all cars have been designed (not very well) by the same person.
Obviously, I don’t mean ALL cars, but rather, most if not ALL moderately priced cars, which means almost everything on the road…

It’s getting hard to tell the various different makes and models apart from the outside.
