    Actually now that you mention it, I'd really like to see how a modern VW sedan (Passat or Jetta) would hold up in a crash in those circumstances. And how the frame would hold up would be interesting too..

    As much as they don't show the circumstances of the incident that caused the damage, it's nice to know that the cabin area seemed to stand up pretty well... Well, excpet for 1:17 - 1:20.

    0:56 - 0:59 OUCH! Poor R36!

    Not to well, note that its a partial impact so it always ends up rather messy.
