Unfortunately, I recently hit a brown bear at 60 km/h ~35 mph. I've been driving a 2006 Focus for the last four years, but just bought an '04 Dakota, which I was driving at the time. Aside from feeling terrible about the bear (head injuries, broken leg - subsequently killed by conservation officers), I was glad to be in the truck rather than the car. The truck sustained a broken sidemarker (corner) light, and dents to the lower door and lower panel of the extended cab. The more collapsible Focus probably would have destroyed front bumper, headlight, fender, hood, and possibly radiator and AC radiator. Unless he got swept up and over and into the windshield. I doubt the Focus would have been drivable, and the bear would most likely have to have been killed anyway.
