Our Vanagons, in any form, are incredibly tough, for vans, and especially in the front.  Maybe because they have autobahns in Germany and don't want to lose any fellow Germans.    I know from experience.  That middle bumper hidden behind the sheet metal between the grills is really tough.  I pray that none of us ends up in any collision, but if it's from the front, we have hope.  I thought mine was a total until I drove it out of there (not far, but in a hurry as I was losing coolant)  and next day sense prevailed.

 This test was made to show the performance of the ADAC test facility. The bus was overloaded and crashed with 120 kilometers per hour into the wall.
