I'll say that the car doesn't matter at all. Kids kill themselves in Civic's and Accord's every week.

If they're going to drive fast, they will do it in a Kia just as well as a Boxster. Very few of us grew up with Porsche's but I bet that we all drove our parents POS cars way fast enough to kill ourselves. Nothing has changed between generations.

If the kid is hellbent on driving like an idiot I agree that they'll do it in whatever is available be it a Boxster or Checker Marathon cab. Stupidity on their part would somewhat negate my concern for their well being.

If the kid is simply in the wrong place at the wrong time and is a victim / collateral damage of another's carelessness / recklessness (as was the case above) I prefer they be in a safer car, pretty much the point of the OP............
