And this is the same argument that goes in circles in this thread.
People make a false assumption based on what the outside of these new cars look like after a collision when it's really only the passenger compartment that matters.
Hell, just the "super high strength steel" inner door beam of a Scion is stronger than any part of a car built in the early 70s.
Look at the side impact of the 2011 Charger in post #62. See the red paint left on the side airbag? That would be a head going through side glass in a Newport.
These little cars deform, and crumple in an effort to use up collision energy before it gets to the people inside.
