Had that motorcycle hit the front of the car square on (head on collision) the ride would have been a splat on the windsheild...

Its a damn shame though that the passengers inside the VW were killed...
...even though most cars are not designed for this type of collision I would like to think that the older MB's would hold up a bit better. I notice the lower frame rail/unibody thing is torn clear through...also doesn't help that the VW is so low to the ground that the bike could essentially enter the passenger compartment through the passenger door. I would think with the slightly higer ride height of a full size sedan that the front tire would expel more force into the body/frame rather than, well, the door in this case.

Damn.
