I'm not sure I'd let it bother you too much, you can't buy them here
anyhow..

;)

Seriously, the most important thing is the damage to the occupant (or crash
test dummy).  How much accident energy did the vehicle absorb, vs the
occupant?

I remember hearing a Nascar commentator one time, there was a horrific
looking wreck.  The commentator was pretty confident that the occupant would
be ok, and he was (walked away from it).  The commentator made the
observation that it's when the vehicle looks ok that the occupant usually
isn't..

I would be curious to know how the crash test dummies in all of these
vehicles fared.
