This is why there is an emphasis on small cars having large bumpers that will catch SUV bumpers, and an emphasis on CUVs with bumpers that meet on the same level as a car's bumper.

Side impact, while on average better than what's seen here, still has a long way to go in protecting against SUVs. I wonder what sort of technology might emerge to further absorb collision forces.

Interests:Cars, cars & more cars. 1930s cars, 1950s cars, 1960s cars, muscle cars, chrome chariots, land yachts & true rat rods. Speed, RWD, manual transmissions, Pillarless Hardtops and weird obscure cars are also my passion. Currently thinkning about trading my 1959 Buick 2 door post for a solid pre-war car. As soon as I win the Lottery I'm buying a Messerschmitt Bf.109 & V16 Cadillac or two.

So much for those unibody "crumple zones" huh?

That was quite a crash.
