Bumper Crash Test: 2007 Pontiac G6

[TheGuestable]

Story Like a G6 damage a car and pay about $5000

[MichaelTellsTV]

Wow squishy like a fat chick. Yay!

[evildead818]

like a G6?

[7T1RT]

Wow...that bumper came out totally unscathed...hood's seen better days though.

[shortyfocker]

It should be a convention on car builders to make all bumpers at the same level...

[pdlsuper7]

its a really safe car though!!!!!!! My sister totaled mine on the highway and came out fine!

[oman2310]

@pdlsuper7

my sister is in the kitchen , oh wait... were the groceries ok?

[auxmike]

I cringe as I watch this. Could be engine/radiator damage here too!

[bestamerica]

'

this front bumper is a so cheap, weak foam inside the plastic bumper,,,

turn down,,,

go back to company and put it on harder stronger bumper as in 1970's

[SARGAMESH]

@bestamerica rubber and plastic are more elastic then steel and iron. /isthissarcasm?

[bestamerica]

SARGAMESH,

'

2 strong metal bumpers with 2 springs

[Muhlineks]

@bestamerica

I guess you don't no, but not only the passengers have right to be protected, but also pedestrians. Therefore modern cars have softer bumpers.

[bestamerica]

Muhlineks,

'

2 soft bumpers are not good, cheap, more repair, weak,,,

2 strong bumpers are better, stronger, less repair,,,

all automakers are cheats, big ripoff

[Muhlineks]

@bestamerica

so you prefer cheap repair instead of pedestrian security? Breaking someones legs just for less repair, not nice.

[bestamerica]

Muhlineks,

'

haha silly explain

[Muhlineks]

@bestamerica

what is your explanation? A steel bumper would be a lot cheaper, but less secure, face ist. never the less the insurence pays anyway.

[spirit774]

I love how everyone says there is no way it could cost that much, guess what it does. The parts may cost like $2000 but body shop labor is INSANE. It cost over $1000 labor to change a bumper and a headlight on a truck that hit me. The parts only cost like $250.

So this could EASILY cost that much, new grill, hood, fenders, bumper, air damper, lights, rad, light mounts, horn, grill insert, inner wheel wells. This may sound extreme, but take a car to a body shop, and look at the list you get.

[donbehatin]

@spirit774 Good god... I should start working at a body shop!

[dkhill27]

No way that damage was that high. If that car ran into the back of my lifted 77 ford truck it would go right underneath it

[MonkeyNinjasUnite]

haha the car is a G6 like the song...

but there is no way in hell thats 4,000 dollars more like 2,000

[Mcmerc01]

Fly like a G6

[sweetlikeADAM]

G6s are gay.

[mcdaniel5907]

@sweetlikeADAM your daddy

[mcdaniel5907]

@sweetlikeADAM 

[mcdaniel5907]

@sweetlikeADAM

your mom and dad are

[sweetlikeADAM]

@mcdaniel5907 Obviously, because they had a child...

[estidecrissdemarde]

@sweetlikeADAM just like you

[sweetlikeADAM]

@estidecrissdemarde No.

[edulitto1]

well the bumper was unhurt but the fron.... yea :D

[brooklynboiz]

No way that's 4500 worth of damage just no way

[XxPcHeroxX]

G6 Ain't so fly no mo.

[aftermathsample305]

wow.. that was horribad

[Bigroberto2008]

damn!!!!!! i have a grand am (1996) that hit the back of a dodge dakota truck (1995). The car wouldn't start and it was towed and it hit the back bumper of the truck which is simular to this vid at this same speed because it was being pulled (by towing rope) and he stop to quick for me to pump the brakes in time cuz without the car running the brakes was stiff....but didnt notice a dent at all.....but this?? is sad because they are trying to make cars lighter and its messing up there quality.

[xBaitMyScenex]

MORE LIKE FLY 'NOT' LIKE A G6

[SightlyAbyss]

really that was over 4000 dollars of damage, god dam is all i can say.

[dod3334]

it's ok... at least there is no damage to the bumper... lolz...

[RacerXDrag]

@IROCwarriorAMC88 <- WOw this guy know nothing about cars does he. Only car MADE of fiberglass is the Vette bro and its ALWAYS been that way! only thing PLASTIC on the car is the bumper cover, under it STILL Metal dude. Your Camaros Test ratings where POOR in that year. But I guess the world is damn small in the drivers seat of an old sub-pony car with less then 200hp outa a V8. man the '80's were a sad day for GM. 25mpg ROFLMAO!

[stichy420]

@RacerXDrag Actually, the bumper itself is also a type of plastic =/

[mcmDRISE]

Thank god! The bumper remains undamaged!.... not sure if that is the purpose of a bumper...

[munn32]

That is true, older cars are more stronger

[zukomatico]

PURE PLASTIC x p

[algirdas107]

hey it's kinnda faster not 6 mph it's more !

[supermanxevan]

@IROCwarriorAMC88 +1 for that

[sideburns2009]

@IROCwarriorAMC88 this is a crash test video for a pontiac g6. take all your spamming and whining about how your car is better to your inbox, which apparently everyone forgets about and instead spams videos.

[sideburns2009]

@IROCwarriorAMC88 shut up whine bag

[GaryB315]

Thats painful to watch.

[MrFrozenCanuck]

I know, I have a G6 and I don't want to see it crumpled like that.

[ziggo99]

And what's the 0-60 time on that Camaro? And how's the mileage? Sad days when today's 4 bangers are smoking your Camaro while getting three times the mileage. Not to mention safer.

[91cannibal]

man cars these days are made out of crap!!!!! i own a 89 camaro and that thing was made to last!!!! if i get hit, all it needs is a hammer and dolly and thats about it. back to looking like new. im scared to get in a crash in these new cars. ill stick with my steel made oldschool nice cars!

[robinmasters87]

$4,588 worth of damage?!!!

[TheLegendofRyo]

the auto industry is such a fucking scam

[One3teen]

Finally, a DIY lowrider.

[13jjbonilla]

My mom Has this Car and it is Awesome!!!! I love it

[aghasouren]

thats a gm for you lol

[Triple88a]

That will buff right out.

[DanDFriend]

Looking at it makes me cringe, imagine if that was your car, yowch

[stonee206]

Ugly!

[jordanhall91]

i could fix the entire front back with that kind of money.....Lmao

[shadow1058]

that car was too low so bye bye hood and light bumper was kinda fine i kicked a car's bumper had a hole :3

[shadow1058]

wow car gotta stop going low..

[Stralis123]

My dad used to have a peugeot 605 and every time he was parking the car in the garage he bumped the wall an then stopped the car (small garage, big car), there was no damage to the bumper at all because it was rubber on it and small shock absorbers. Once he did that with my car(1998 jetta) and fucked up my bumper pretty bad.

[redbullmx13]

buicks are fuckin tanks.theres a vid where they run one over like 15 times with a bulldozer and it runs

[LukeL007]

Bumpers should be made of steel and have shock absorbers for impacts under 5MPH, this would prevent hood, headlight and radiator damage, and still allow for crumpling at low to high speeds.

[bliglum]

even if it were made of steel, unless they raised it up, it would still crunch the headlights and hood. and i think the old steel bumpers were more bother anyways.. a friends truck bumped into my car (with painted 5mph bumpers) all I had to do was buff a few scuffs, while his trucks chrome bumper was bent out of shape and smashed in.

[LukeL007]

I don't know, my mom was in a bad car wreck when she was young, she hit a little foreign car and totaled it, while her Buick only had a real tiny dent in the steel bumper.

Still bumper today could be made a lot better, no reason a bump in a parking lot should cost 4 grand.

[bliglum]

It's funny, it seems to depend on so many variables.. for example.. I had a little toyota mr2 and a lady hit me in her big mid 80's Oldsmobile. I drove away, she didn't..I think I got lucky though.. ultimately, the heavy steel or black bumpers probably will take more bumps... but they look sooo ugly compared to the modern painted plastic ones!

[12OclockLow]

Yea, I remember my friend tapped his work van Vandura against a 2000s camry, damn, the Vandura looked no shittier than it was before, but the camry... the plastic just snapped all over the place and the corner of the car was gone.

[westendpimp2003]

ouch

[jordanhall91]

despite the damage it's still nice, i wouldn't mind having it. lol

[iamsmith2008]

ouch!

[zukomatico]

piece of shit . never in a GTO 1968

[PlutoniusX]

We went from 5mph bumpers to 2.5mph bumpers to practically no bumpers at all.

[marklwg]

id be happy. at least it got the other bumped f.u.c.k.e.d. up too! haha.

[catlovermarty]

You can thank the Reagan administration for the useless bumpers. The regs for them were relaxed during Ronnie's time as "president".

[SThoogie]

Thats how all auto makers make their cars these days. It is designed to absorb the impact. look up other cars and you will see they do the same thing.

[CptTuttle]

You are completely right in that cars should crumple in high-speed accidents to absorb the energy and protect the passengers. However, that has nothing to do with the bumpers. The crumple zones are built into the structure of the car and are a completely different story. You can build a car with good bumpers, that would have very little damage in a test like this, while it still can have good crumple zones and earn good performance in higher speed crashes.

[SThoogie]

Yes but notice that the car is hit at the very top of the bumper then the car gets pushed down so that the car is hit in the grill area. If it was a direct bumper to bumper hit then there would be hardly any damage at all.

[mikejohncooper]

nah, I would rather have my car not get any damage and end up with a broken neck from the whiplash, no wait, yeah I'll take a collapsing force absorbing bumper anyday

[rustydog0329]

The car companies love people like you.

[somewhatlongdong]

when you think about how much money a new car is, it's f**king crazy that they can't make them withstand what was a very minor accident. no wonder insurance rates are so high.

[1310cirtap]

WOW way to go GM, no wonder ur loosers..

[toybox27]

uh why do that kind of test... there is a super small chance of us running into that thing on the road... you need to test on someting like the size of a normal bumper... hahaha dumb ppls

[nyislanders66497]

Have you heard of an SUV? they are tall enough for a low car like that to go under like that Pontiac did.

[sharef93]

hahaha your the dumb ppl! dumbass its about hitting the back of an suv, or a van, where the fuck do you see that on a road

[pacmanghostx]

0:12

Damn.

[Christopher2398]

The bumper is useless

[techndeck]

Well I've just noticed that the bumper that the car hits is metal(Thats what it looks like).Odds are these days not many cars have metal bumpers, so the damage wouldn't be as severe as the video suggests.

[mrsimple1691]

well now i know what my car will do if i hit something similar to that

[hokman1]

needs higher bumper or bullbar

[lovecars890]

That is a lot of damage, but i think that the hood went up because of absorbing impact and that made it a safe car after all

[BJC89UF]

....notice the car being pushed down thats where the real bumper is, 4 inches higher, a couple scratches and maybe a cracked bumper cover less than 500 damage

[BJC89UF]

i'm gonna post this again so you guys know....this is not a bumper test....the bumper is just above the lower grills and is not even touched in this "test" all it hits is the plastic bumper cover! a mustang slid in the rain right into the front of my car while i was at a light going about 5-10 mph i got knocked back, and no damage at all except for a small scratch in my paint, because he hit the actual metal bumper

[adam22oflasvegas]

i agree that is alot of damage for a bumper test

[USGiorgi]

bumper lights radiator the hood. Thats pretty expensive.

[Riles07]

sends the hood up into the windshield...

[dmick90]

Toyota, Honda, and Nissan has made some of the lamist and ugliest looking vehicles i've ever seen. Tundra, honda element, toyota echo lol, nissan versa do you want me to keep going i'd be more than happy to.

[SCOTTIEHOTTIE123]

O my god ur my hero! I HATE IMPORTS! ESPECIALLY HONDA!!!!!!! I mean, the ridgeline, come on

[Intelpentium54321]

they used to be nice but now they are trying to blend in with american culture. BIG

[Intelpentium54321]

but I agree now they suck but still like the toyota. CHEVY IS GROSS. with the damn uplander and the dodge magnum.

[DestinysJester]

Because CHEVY certainly makes the DODGE Magnum...

[godblesskiddchris]

i'd choose reliability over looks any day

[is3tj]

But they are WAY more reliable.

[djmick90]

@is3tj no they are not way more reliable anymore chevy, ford, and even buick make decent cars now and have finally caught up to the japanese, and korean cars in quality, safety and reliability.

[jbmclean226]

I would guess that in a few years there will be a huge number of 'salvaged' G5's on the road if this low speed collision cost nearly $5000 in damages. The cars will barely be worth that in less than 5 years!! G5 equals salvage yard's dream!

[revolutionday1]

Looks exactly like the damage my Grand Am GT sustained, when I rear-ended some bitch in a Buick LeSabre... Absolutely NOTHING happened to her car, "of course"...

[Bsmith120]

Im with bignicky88....for one PONTIAC's suck! For 2 GM Sucks...the G6 is one of the ugliest cars Ive seen in my life! But...of course its a Pontiac..and Pontiac cannot build ONE good looking/fast car. American made cars suck. Stick with the Japanese and Germans...they will teach you how to build a good high quality, built to last, luxury automobile!

[is3tj]

I agree to a point. Pontiacts have always been plastic shit. Luxury is not always someones answer. Conservative cars are wanted by many familys.

[adiosk8r91]

you are right and i also agree BUT, the main reason cars are made of mainly plastic now days is to provide more safety to the driver. think about when cars were made out of metal, when they hit something the car would be destroyed, while present now the car absorbs the impact and saves the driver, i dont like the plastic myself either but hey it saves our lives

[is3tj]

Pontiacs have had plastic since the start though back in the 90;s it wasnt about safty it was about money.

[adiosk8r91]

yes true, but over the years since then the accidents ratings have gone through the roof, and now the american manufactures are caring about safety more now. and i know how the 90's pontiacs were i had a 96 pontiac grand am, the best p.o.s. i ever had lol, i was a very nice and comfortable car hell i could live in it! but the motors were very unreliable and the transmissions were crap! i had the transmission replaced 4 times and the engine replaced once, sold it and bought a 89 mustang gt 5.0

[Magicspeed2]

much better then the chinese cars LOL

[smartfortwodiesel]

The G6 is a very solid car. Much better than thin skinned offshore junk.

[bignicky88]

What a cheap and nasty car.

American car design is awful...

[BJC89UF]

well I did my own bumper test on my g6 sedan

a guy in a 2000ish mustang decided to go too fast around a turn in the rain and slid right into my left front bumper while i was stopped at the light....i thought my bumper would be all smashed up..... go out and look at it and nothing!....i just have a small scratched area about 3 inches long above the lower grill...

this "bumper test" doesn't even hit the bumper! if it did it would do much better

[JaHarrison01]

sure it could be $5000 damage.

1.)Hood

2.)Bumper

3.)Hoodlatch

4.)Headlights

5.)painting

6.)fog lights

7.)any other damage it could have done to the engine

[ande947]

wow yout obviously some uneducated wanna be punk i just said the maxima is worse because it is and so is the G35 dont make a rude comment because you dont like to hear the truth!

[ande947]

its bad but the maxima is way worse

[Brainiac83]

this video has nothing to do with the maxima..Comment on the G6, dont look for bandages for your woonds.

[bamac2008]

i hate pontiac g6 i see em' all of time

[UInACrash]

GG... leave it to Pontiac to get completely fucked up.

[Nettikturbo]

Uhh, it missed the bumper completley... All it did was hit the Hood support latch.

[masbiturbo85]

and the grill, lights and radiator...

[Nettikturbo]

Right, but my point was... Not the bumper at all. And the only time you'd get into an accident like that is rear ending an SUV.

[BJC89UF]

yeah the bumper is there behind the lower grills

thats def not 5000 dollars of damage

you could buy a new engine, bumper, headlights, and grill and still have money left over for that amount.

[puffpuffpass90]

idk man. i hit a golf and dented the right front fender and the headlite up and deployed there air bag and they said it was liek 2000 for it lol. think that might b a lil high myself

[filipinoboy147]

wow...

[eldeivid]

I dont like how cars now a days have those kind of bumpers (if we can call them that) they make them all round and instead of absorbing the impact the shape they have send the object or car directly into the hood.

[rebeinthemorning]

ouch

[KnightGals]

G6 DAMAGE $4;588

[KnightGals]

g6 damage $;588
