You are very wrong there.

Don't know or care about Range Rovers but one needs to be careful about the NCAP ratings, as comparisons between cars are only valid *within* the nine different vehicle categories they have (last time I looked). From NCAP:
"Results should only be compared within the same group. The frontal testing method mirrors a crash between two similar sized cars. Clearly a bigger car has an advantage if it hits a smaller car and Euro NCAP results can’t be used to predict the outcome of such crashes."
Put simply you'd rather be in a 3* large car than a 5* small one.
