lol, the headlight is still intact. looks like that dummy hit the back of their head pretty hard on that pillar from the recoil..and the back seat opened then closed.

Acura's best-- the RL.. which, isn't the best at all, it's actually rated the worst luxury car. Oh well.

yes but your 40-45 into a flat barrier (i.e, another car) isn't the same crash as this (an offset test where 40% of the vehicles frontal width is smashed into a aluminum honeycomb barrier) This gives a small portion of the vehicle's structure more crash energy to manage than say 100% full frontal. And yes, the 7th gen is a VERY safe car. When I was working on my amp install, had the back seat/carpet off, and I seen some VERY heavy duty reinforcements under there. VERY VERY impressive.

LMAO dx/Lx sedan, ugly ugly UGLY hubbies, cant miss em! DAMN,your car got jacked by that truck. Sorry that sh*t happened. BTW, I'll be sleeping okay now knowing that my car will still be flawless if i backup perfectly into a pole at 5mph. After our tech day, our friend Isaiah backed up into my front bumper, no damage, but he got my license plate bolts ETCHED into his rear bumper lol
damn, i think i'm gonna cry. I have a nice scratch on my back bumper from where i backed into a utility pole ground line. and i nice square hole from where i rear ended a pick-up with a trailer hitch. but oh well that's why i got the body kit.
you wanna see something reall bad? I searched on progressive for all the videos and i watched them all. Like I watched the trucks, the Ford breaks in half almost. Look at all the trucks and the Toyota looks the safest. Our cars look relatively safe compared to all the other videos. I feel much safer in my Vic now.



. thanks for the vids.
