Got sent this by my local motoring club.
The Ford F150 (for those who don't know) is a colossal American pick up truck (think iceberg) with a 'get out my way presence', bought by people who think that a 'compact' car wouldn't cut it in a crash.
In this case 'presence' counts for nothing. This thing's got the structural integrity of a cornflake. Just look at that passenger cell deformation.
Whereas the Mini's cockpit is virtually untouched.
Same offset crash test, same speed, you choose.
(Best to maximise picture size.)
