Problem with cars these days is bumper height. If i had a wifey, I'd be doing my best to get her into a BIG suv or the like. I'd want higher bumpers.
Look at these pics, essentially both my bumpers were untouched. no air bags went off because the sensors are in the bumpers, the front bumper doesnt even have a scratch on it, and the rear bumper has a small dent in it. they just rode up over them completely. I had a trailer hitch on the car tho, and it looks like it did add some structure to the cars frame and kept it from crushing in more.
