So what part of the NHTSA report do you not understand? Caprices were (are) as susceptible to fires after a rear-end as the CVPI:
"From MY 1985 to MY 1996, GM produced over 1.7M of its B-Body vehicles (Caprice, Impala). Like the Panther vehicles, the GM B-Body vehicles are rear wheel drive, four door sedans of similar weight. GM sold a similar percentage of the total B-Body production (15% vs. 14% for Panther) to law enforcement organizations. Thus, the B-Body is the most comparable vehicle to the Panther for peer analysis."
"ODI identified 11 reports )of Caprices) including 6 (55%) law enforcement vehicles and 5 vehicles in civilian use. These reports span 11 calendar years from 1989 to 1999 and resulted in 6 fatalities and 5 injuries."
