I like watching the head-on crash test videos (it's entertaining, admit it), but I can't put much stock in their value. For anyone who has ever been in an accident, was it ever crashing into a brick/concrete wall head-on at 35 mph with no braking? The accidents I've been in: 2 side collisions to front quarter panel < 25 mph & 2 rear endings < 20 mph; nothing that involved immovable objects.
The offset and any vehicle-vehicle crash test is far more useful in determining vehicle crash performance to me. Unless a vehicle is prone to exploding in a slight breeze or is full of running chainsaws, I'd refrain from calling it a death-trap.
