<![CDATA[59 Bel Air vs 09 Malibu crash]]>Over the years, I have always thought "What would happen if I got into a head on collision with an older 'heavy chevy' or the like"... Well this crash was tested, and I am amazed at what happens.

Wrong. The Impala is the descendant of the bel air.

If they had used anything else it would just look like a sales pitch for them and you'ld be wondering "Why use X's cars? Why not use Chevy?"

Cars destroyed either way but you survive with minor injuries instead of dying instantly. Automotive safety engineering has come a long way for sure.
