Who says that older cars are built stronger than the newer ones?

It's a Australian brand owned by GM so Europe has nothing to do with this.

If you wanna check European crash tests, just search for Volvo and we'll compare.

Old cars are dreadfully unsafe, but are you sure this is genuine? It kind of looks like someone sawed some chunks out of the chassis to make that happen, lol

A the one second mark if you look closely at the rear door you can see the very end triangular part of the door appear, giving the C pillar its actual shape. I think it was painted and due to the low quality of the video it looks like its not there at all.

The C pillar does not look like a Holden Commodore although Crashlab, written on the side of the car, is part of the NSW RTA.

@veterinaren The Commodore was a rebuilt Opel Rekord, the car in the vid looks like a 1978-1980 car

Compare with this test of a Santana, which seems to be at similar speed (around 100 km/h). I don't know whether teh Santana also has 300 kg load in boot, as this one has.

@veterinaren Wrong. That Car is a Opel Rekord / Commodore and sold very well in Europe /Sweden. In England that very car were named Vauxhall.

@YaretziDelgado498The Holden Commodore is an automobile manufactured since 1978 by the Holden subsidiary of General Motors (GM) in Australia, and, formerly, in New Zealand. In the mid-1970s, Holden established proposals to replace the long-serving Kingswood nameplate with a smaller, Opel-based model. Opel continued to provide the basis for future generations until the launch of the fourth generation in 2006, which deployed an Australian developed platform.
