Some Americans must be hopeless drivers.
BTW the Cube makes a lot of sense in Tokyo, where speeds are low and aerodynamics are unimportant. It has great headroom and maximises interior space on a short wheelbase. Stay off motorways though.

Does explain why the New Defender included extreme kerb strike testing - to prepare it for the US market.

I'm not sure the damage is quite what you'd expect from getting hit from the side?? Or is it just me? Or am I just being pedantic over a photo that is trying to convey something else? [biggrin]Quote:

I once got rear ended by a Corolla - the bonnet crumpled up against the windscreen, leaving some white paint on my towbar. That was at about 10kph.
I think it's showing the result of a head on collision.Quote:
