Vovo vs. Vanagon

Actually, a coupe of yeqars ago, I saw a collision-test report where an '86
Vanagon and some Volvo 740 had been smashed together in an off-axis frontal
collision according to some testing standard or other. Data analysis on
impact and stress in the dolls indicated that most, maybe all, passengers
in the Volvo would have died, and that some of the passengers in the
Vanagon would have been severely injured. That is, if I remember this
correctly.

If someone is interested, I can try and find this report,translate it and
post it. I think there were pictures too...
