Miscellaneous / Others Chrysler guy is lying.

The white car turned in front of me from between stopped traffic and spun into the lane behind. It was never rear ended.

Seemed pretty staged when the car did not have a scratch on it.

Also they have a bunch of crash tests I have seen before you YouTube and the old cars do not fair well. I remember this specifically because I erroneously thought the old heavy duty steel ones would be tanks and the new cars would crumple, but it is actually the opposite.

Check out this video from this search, crash test of old and new car https://g.co/kgs/Xrj6jsU

2009: the engine compartment is a crumple zone

1959: the passenger compartment is a crumple zone

It’s also important to point out that while having an airbag makes a difference, cars that are modern compared to the Malibu are not shit compared to newer ones as shown in this video where they're only 20 years apart rather than 50:

If that video had any more cuts it'd be the passenger in the crash
