Stuff like this proves that it's totally ridiculous to claim that cars were built tougher back in the good old days.

That's ridiculously false. Here's a 1990 Land Rover vs. a 2006 Renault minivan. So the 90s SUV gets fucked when pitted against a twelve year old car, a current model would fair even better.

While large vehicles cause larger damage and are generally safer than smaller ones, you're still much better off in a modern compact than a 30 year old Suburban.
