Although for me to take pleasure in the video even more, a few things need to be added or changed...
-A Mocha Latte in a cardboard cup smashing into the windscreen.
-Crash test dummy replaced with a real Porsche driving wanker
-His cell phone (which he'd be holding to his bead-filled head) melding with his face with the impact.

These are all really good compared to, say, a Cavalier. In that the wheels don't enter the passenger compartment.

And aren't you kind of annoyed that our names are stuck like this permanently?

ADAC and the whole German media is pathetically protective of their auto industry. Just recently ADAC said Europe's most fuel efficient car was a VW (wtf?). And there, BMW, Merc and VW have the best reliability ratings, while in the US BMW and Merc are below average and VW is rock bottom.
Nothing Germans say about cars should be taking seriously.

Besides, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in the US gave Audi A6, Audi A3, Audi A4, BMW 3 series, Mercedes C class, Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Passat, Volkswagen Eos, Volkswagen Rabbit/Golf, Audi Q7, BMW X3, BMW X5, Mercedes M class all top marks for 2009 model year.
If you can't stomach the fact that Chinese cars are less safe than those of the established international manufacturers, I'm afraid there is no nope for you.

Oh, and the VW Tiguan also won too.

I never said Chinese cars are as safe as those of established international manufacturers. That's a ridiculous idea (at this point).
But it is true that there was bias on the BS4 rating and that Germany is very protective of its auto industry, given its importance to their economy. I just think that the 0-star rating was a really low blow.

Hey, we've got all their money and jobs, so who's laughing now?

Why don't you go punch your clown, you might feel less argumentative after that.
Or have a drink.

i know econoboxes crumple like tin cans so the front absorbs all the energy but what of that car?

But I feel like for sport/supercars, and especially F1, crash tests should be done at much higher speeds, like 100mph, because that seems to be the popular thing to do these days.
04/29/09
I'm hoping most cars don't go over the speed limit on public roads, and really though, it is kinda hard IMHO (although some people's stupidity is beyond belief) to crash driving in a straight line on the highway.

It's so surreal watching these videos while listening to show tunes.

What a piece of crap.

And I'd rather my crashes not be too dramatic and tragic.
