i am curious how bad these things crumple up..

anyone post a few pics of whatever wreck they have had or seen?

i am in an argument with a freidn who says that since its all glass it is no safer than a convertible...

 

since what is all glass.... the roof is all glass... not the car. And from pictures I've seen the glass hold up very very well.

 

the front end got taken off by someone who ran a red light... the hit came at about 60 mph... needless to say, it crumpled pretty well. no problems with the glass though

 

Look at the mercedes. They have the all glass c230 so im sure ours is just as safe.

well, yea there's been a post before, but here's a whole photoalbum of my wreck for ya ... long story short, excessive speeding, 100mph+, lost control, hit the center median divider, spun around couple times, rolled to a stop off the highway.

It's alot safer than a convertable. If you'll notice, on the outside, it's all glass, but inside, there is a divider where framework does go over the top, both in the middle and at the hatch. All in all, the cars are very solid, the roof didn't even so much as crack.

first 2 are my camera phone at the accident, the rest are that night at the wrecker's yard

SAN DIEGO – A man was killed in Mission Valley Thursday morning after his speeding car left an elevated freeway interchange, flew through the air for more than 100 feet and landed upside down on a city street.

The 32-year-old driver was in a 2005 black Toyota Scion heading west on the Fairmont Avenue ramp to northbound Interstate 15 at 2:45 a.m. when his car went over the 30-foot high north edge of the ramp and was airborne for 108 feet before slamming onto Camino del Rio North, said California Highway Patrol officer Brad Baehr.

The car then slid north on the road, rolled onto its side as it hit a curb, and then smashed into a concrete overpass wall, Baehr said.

The car was nearly folded in half and completely crushed, Baehr, said. The driver had to be cut out of the car and was dead at the scene.

His identity has not been released because his family members are still being notified, the Medical Examiner's office said.

Camino del Rio North was closed for more than three hours as authorities investigated.

 

Yea yea ... but that kind of an accident would have ended the same way with any car

 

x2

PLEASE SEARCH!!!!!

 

alright man here is the truth..... they hold up really really well... i got side swipped by a dually on the driver side i wasnt hurt at all about 7k damage i just got it back about 12 hours ago yes!!!! and i did damage to the dually as well... so i would say they hold up very well didnt lose control or anything... ive been in two of the same accidents whith 2 different cars one with a tc and one with a 95 bmw 740i very similar crashes and i think the tc was more stable

 

I came out with my head, and without a scratch......very safe car!!
