Z4 has side airbags, but a lower side crash test rating.

So, which is more important, having side airbags, or getting less injured?

Probably so.

I don't get it, they mention in the article the 350z has double the death rates of any sports car.

Then I look through the top 20 pics of cars and don't even see the 350z.

The s2000 has 5 star rollover, above average accident avoidance but yet no side airbags and its the top 20 worst cars?

hmmm

...Consumer Reports' John Linkov says that the Yaris can't be recommended, "because its emergency handling is quite tail-happy and the driver could get out of control very quickly."
More reason for manufacturers to continue increasing understeer on cars to prevent lawsuits
