they are designed to crumple at the front and not the back thats why, if the cavvy had hit the rear of the punto then the damage wuldve been similar to the cavvy and the punto wuldve come off lightly. Same happened to me in my corsa wen i went into the back of a 206

They are designed to take the impact, otherwise you'd fuck your self up as the speed would literally go from 20mph to 0mph.
