i hope you replied from your own experience? if not your just making a silly comment! i drive one and was involved in a 13 car pile-up! i was first of all the only car that stopped in time (i was number 12) and also the only car that drove away from the accident, all other cars were either scrap metal or had to be towed because they turned into squashed tin cans! the car that hit me was a total write-off and the poor guy had his engine between his legs. mine was hardly dented (ok still cost $3361 to fix being bmw) and the bastard had no third party so i had to pay 361 dollars by myself. but it does show quality steel. BTW i have no air bags but most of the other cars did but not a single one opened and there were quite a few people with whiplash.
