North America boasts some of the best safety standards in the entire auto market. If you don't believe us, compare footage of the impact of a four-star rated Nissan Versa versus a zero-star rated Nissan Tsuru (commonly sold in Latin America). As can easily been seen in the front three-quarter collision, the Tsuru is basically a death trap. Watch how much of the dash and steering column completely crush the driver. No wonder Nissan immediately pulled the cars from the road.
