When Old Russian-made Lada & New German-made Mercedes Crashes Into Each Other by obafemee80(op): 9:22pm On Apr 15, 2019

The picture above shows and says it all:

The German-made Mercedes-Benz has a front and rear crumple zones, designed to absorb the energy from the impact during a traffic collision. This feature will likely protect the driver and the passengers in the events of head-on-collisions.

The classic Russian-made Lada 1200 (a.k.a 1300 and 1500 ), which is the third best selling automobile platform after the Volkswagen Beetle and the Ford Model T, lacks safety features like the crumple zones and airbags.

Which Of The Two Will You Go For, Despite The Differences In Build Quality And Safety Features?

That Lada is "the ripper" of vintage cars.

Considering the level of impact, I can only imagine what would have happened if it came in collision with Toyota "Big for nothing." That would have been totally disastrous for an already disastrous car.

You speak ignorantly and as such, you're misinforming others.

Am sure the Benz also has good crash records.. Thread Discussion was not about safety or absorbing impact by crumbling, which is what must modern cars are designed to do but "which car go Bend pass if dem jam"
