Less "plastic front-end" and more "designed to absorb impacts without letting them get to the people inside". Also, happens on the roads, too. SUV-on-Soviet-car collision makes the latter into an accordion of gore while the former only requires cosmetic repairs.

Yes. My grandparents still insist metal is stronger than plastic and so a car made entirely out of metal is safer.

I suppose an all metal car with modern crumple zone technology could be built to put that to the test. If any of my followers work at any of the major car manufacturers, can you forward that idea up to whoever makes cars?

A solid car would be more dangerous though. If the car doesn’t crumple at all, then all the force of the impact will be transferred to the passengers. like, yeah the car would survive but the people in it would be dead on impact.
