"But, larger cars are less maneuverable. So they are more likely to hit the smaller car rather than vice versa." that depends more on the driver. My wife has been rear ended 3 times pulling into our street by kids not paying attention, on sell phones, texting, changing cds, etc. Thank god she was in a big SUV our kids didn't even notice it, while each time the smaller car was totaled

combjelly, But, larger cars are less maneuverable. So they are more likely to hit the smaller car rather than vice versa. If you are thinking SUV, it is less maneuverable because of higher center of gravity and maybe tires have different properties. As far as size and weight I have to think physics here: Is there any reason you can think of why a car that of size X would be any more maneuverable than a the same care scaled to size and weight of 1.1 X?
