Anybody switch over from new car and regret it?

I agree, I find that crash video a bit hard to believe. I was in an old Gremlin my girlfriend had when she accidentally "bumped" into one of those yellow cement posts at the bank. There was a chunk of concrete that fell out onto the ground, but her bumper just had some paint on it. Those cars were not built to crumple like that one did. Call me a skeptic, but I'm just not buying it.

EDIT: I'll leave what I said up, because I do still find it a bit hard to believe, but thinking about it a bit more, these newer cars are much more reinforced in more safety specific places. Please don't think I was doubting the superior safety features of newer cars, I just can't seem to wrap my brain around that video when all of the first hand experience I've seen with older vs newer cars is the opposite. I'm thinking it might be higher speed? Those two hit head on pretty fast so I could see the old sheet metal crumpling without the reinforcement the new ones have. City traffic though I feel much safer in a steel brick up high haha
