My guess is that you probably have a general mistrust of the "Big Three" anyway, safety or otherwise.
Personally, I think most new cars (at least of comparable size) are basically as safe as other new cars and injuries or survivability have more to do with luck and the specific circumstances of the accident than the car(s) involved.
The Chrysler 200, the initial topic of this thread, received high marks for safety but that would not be a deciding or influencing factor for me in choosing it over other similar cars that may not have scored quite as well.
Every or just about every car brand probably has owners who feel their particular car saved their life or saved them from serious injuries.
