If you get into a collision with a semi, I don't think it much matters what you're driving. Living is likely to be a spot of bad luck. I came from an NA miata so I'm pretty overwhelmed by how safe I feel in the s2000. Don't let the man get in your head.
Seeing as how he's watched TT production videos explaining Audi space from technology he pretty much believes its a stiffer chassis than the S, and that its far safer. In some aspects I agree, but the the S2000 was Honda's gift to themselves and my brother, mentioned that Honda lost money selling these cars. Then I found a IIHS video explaining the semi trailer standards are too low. I just want to see him like the car lol. At least he admitted my brothers AP2 looked sexy when he drove into the driveway to show dad lol.
That's some progress I guess... Lol ^_^

You really can't do anything about someone looking for issues with something.

I don't understand this thinking. While the S hoodline is a bit lower than say, a large sedan, but even the large cars hood would still be lower than the bottom of the semi trailer.
So if you crash into one, either way its the windshiled A pillers that are oing to be all that could save you. While the A piller on a sedan is bolstered by the roof and the C and B pillars, the A pillers in the S are a rollbar, capable of supporting the entire weight of the car. I don't know which would hold up better, but either way you are not likely to fair well.
But when was the last time you saw this type of accident? Not very common. Also, I'd rather be in a car that stop much better, and can manuever much better to avoid crashing into the back of a semi in the first place.
This doesn't seem to be a very rational concern. Though of course fears seldom are.

Yeah, worrying about the car ending up underneath a semi isn't really your primary concern because, while it MIGHT happen, if it does I don't think that any car is going to fare very well.
