The Jetta doesn't appear to be a tin can, compared to the E420.
The Jetta weighs 3197lbs. vs. 3745lbs. for the E420. I imagine most of those lbs. are in the engine. The Jetta has a great side impact rating, and side curtain airbags....the E420, has 2 plus whoever is in the passenger seat.
Certainly it's not a Mack truck...but it doesn't seem to be a tin can death trap either.
