Errr, it's in slo-mo dude!
Quite scary tho, all the same, when you see how much the passenger compartment deforms (A piller smacking yer heid anyone?
) - using old tech (was the second vid based on the old SEAT Toledo???) doesn't pay

Looks like there is no chassis just an outer shell, pretty scary!

i'm pretty sure these are the Landwind vehicles. I was astonished that they are even considered for sale in any developed country, as megadeath (no not the band...) would be the result....

correction, it's the Jiangling vehicles. Their SUV, the Landwind, is shown here:

At least the airbag stops you from seeing that you are about to be assaulted by the steering wheel
I was in Shanghai last year for the Grand Prix and the standard of driving makes it even scarier that the cars are made out of Kleenex and spit
It was a regular occurence to see a 3 lane road turned into a 5 or 6 lane road with cars squeezing into gaps to try to get past.

They do this in Italy too. And McKean does it wherever he goes, except perhaps not in France anymore
