We can imagine many scenarios where we need to crash through a wall: embassy invasion, bank robbery, rescue mission, slow news day. But what's the best car to use to crash through a wall?
After much meditation on the subject, and assuming the wall is of brick or stucco construction, we're going to go with a 2010 Audi A4 Audi allroad quattro, but we're going to drive it backwards into the building. Our reasoning? We know Audi wagons are safe and the added ground clearance of the allroad will make it easier to drive over any curbs or objects hiding on the other side of the road. For safety purposes, the best way to assure you're okay is to lengthen the time of a crash, which you can do by going in the other way (it also makes it easier to get out). The ability to motivate all wheels means, if some of the vehicle ends up in the air, you can still push your way through what remains of the wall. Plus, no one ever suspects the Audi.
