Glad you made it safely BlackPearl. But again, some of the crumple zone enthusiasts might say that the crumple zone technology might have caused the car to crumple, but the passengers would be safe. Its a debatable issue, which is why I was wondering if any of the automobile engineers on this forum might care to share some of the crash test results. We hear a lot of marketing spiel, and each company claims to be better than the other, but whats the truth?
Like I thought that more metal and bigger engine bay would help protect the passengers in a frontal collision, but some people say that its not true. Modern car technology and crumple zones, impact beams et all ensure that the car absorbs the impact while protecting the passengers.
So whom do we trust??? But hey, you survived in a Palio at 140kmph, so I could go in for a Palio. Its proven that its a tank ;-) |
