make a guess which one comes out better.
Volvo (known to be "the Tank") or the Renault (just another MPV). this is a head on crash.

guess.

you will be surprised.

something like a brawl between a 60 year Joe Fraser and a 30 year old Mike Tyson ...kekeke

but think the point of that episode was about new vs old safety technology.

[People's Car]

end of the day, both suffers. so be vigilant on the roads, a mistake will cause dearly

ps. but i still cheong on NSHW next target 240km/h

[zuoom]

it's not the same.

regarding survivable crash, the car would save you, and your legs. the other might also still save you, however, the legs will be gone. 

however, if you are doing the 200 ++ speed. nothing will. nope, not the uber 6 pots brakes, nor the uber sticky tyres.

example: speed n lamp post = crash, burn and die.

The new 2007 Brilliance BS6 (made in China under the name of Zhonghua) - I guess BS stands for bullshit.

The price will be at least $25,000 /€22.000.

The test was performed at 40 mph (64 km/h) into a deformable object simulating another car.

The head of the driver is supposed to be stopped by the airbag - and not the dashboard.

To open the driver's door afterwards, the test crew had to use a crowbar, a tool that first hand witnesses don't have. It is essential that the door can be opened with little force to aid the passengers. The driver would have suffered severe injuries, maybe would have been dead.

The car achieved only one of possible five stars in the EuroNCAP rating.

The key for a safe car is to build a strong passenger cell and effective crumple zones that absorb the energy. As you can see in the video the passenger cell collapses with fatal results. (less)

here's a reason why you should choose a Renault.

Renault's Scenic and Clio cars go ahead-to-head in a crash test...like Demolition Derby.

and why you should think twice on a car that wouldn't do as well.
