I think that any car hitting it's roof at 100 mph would not fare well.  I've
seen worse crashes at 50 mph.  In this case, I doubt anything short of an
M1-A1 tank would have allowed the passengers to survive.  Mercedes has an
excellently designed car, full of just as many safety features as the Audi.
 One begins to wonder of the credentials of the driver......or the behavior
of the other driver.....
