Such an accurate comparison in the above photos....

I am still a solid fan of German girls and cars though.

I heard that honda is pretty good about being flexible/ bendable where it needs to be? as in, being weak is sometimes better than being rigid?
all I know is that I'd rather crash in a mercedes or a japanese car. I have a friend working at the first aid dep. at the hospital. he says you crash in a us made car, you die...

Bull****. No honda is going to give its life for yours. Habraken, you say you go when you go? Well that may be, but if I was in an honda instead of a Mercedes when I got t-bone, I may not be the same as I am today, or even alive. Sure, maybe if i drove a honda that crash would have never of happened just becuase id be in a different place at a different time, but why take the chances? At least in a benz I know im safe if i do crash, whereas in an econobox I can count on going to the emergency room.
