    interesting info regarding the "toughness" of vehicles in fender bender accidents

    in the tests, a car rear-ended an SUV from the same manufacturer at 10 mph and vice versa. the results are somewhat surprising. come to find out, the SUV's didnt fare any better than the cars in the low speed colisions. this included 6 vehicles in 8 accidents that had to be towed... remember, these are 10 mph accidents. that is the total speed value of the vehicles. iow, a fairly minor fender bender...
