Either way it's not a good scenario,  but let's not get carried away here. MBs are great, but to claim that a 15-year-old car that is what, a 25-year-old design is safer than a modern Japanese sedan simply makes no sense. A more modern car is likely a safer car. |
I'll just add my two cents here:
Yes and no.. with the accidents I had in my Golf, compared to my friends who have Hondas and such.. well, my Golf was much tougher. A little bump into a Honda and you just screwed up the whole wing/fender, while with mine I barely lost some paint.
So this doesn't really relate to MB, but it's to give you an idea... MBs are much tougher than VWs, no?
