[s-cars] Teen cars Mine vs UrS4 .. Who wins?

[chris chambers]

Taka,

it's the video you posted which has me thinking.
Combining that with the photos I've seen of wrecked S cars leaves me curious.

The S cars seem to be very well designed/built to protect the occupants in an acident.
But crumple zone technology has changed, when we wrecked our Allroad I learned that
the drive train is now designed to move (limited amount) during an accident absorbing energy from the crash.

Anybody have a spare mini we can wreck?  ;-)
Chris
