Crash test data 850

Does anyone know of any sites that compare different vehicle types to each other. I know that Volvo's are among the safest cars in the world but I am in an argument with a lot of people in school that think that a person in a newer Ford Expedition would be better off than someone in an 850 in a head on collision with eachother. They just automatically assume that because it is a big SUV and that it ways more and is higher off the ground (although I don't know how that would make a difference) that it is safer for the passengers. They just don't understand safety engineering and crumple zones and all. So I am looking for sites or other sources for facts that I can show them and disprove them.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

PS: I tried showing them the volvo survival stories out there but they want actual data.
