Move over Nissan Altima, you mean. Altima in the 10’s were catching on fire if hit in the trunk area.

The popular police cruiser Crown Victoria was also a bomb on wheels because the fuel tanks were in the back and unprotected.

Same with the jeep liberty. They hall have trailer hitches as a quick fix to protect the tank.
