Both cars are without engine. The test is about the building quality of the body. See a slightly different version of this test on "123video". At least in this version you can see both crossbars were in and both engines were out.

2:10, "half of it's nose had just dissapeared", so where did the Volvo's engine go? Or did this one just have "a nose".

They took the engine out of the Volvo. They also took the aluminum front crossbar. That is evidenced by the footage at 2:01. The cross bar would have either broken out of the left side of the Volvo's bumper or it would have torn through the Renault. As you can see, there is no crossbar because neither happens.

At 2:15, you can tell the guy is reading something that you know Renault paid him to say. It sounds more like a Renault press-release than anything else.

Whoever has a Volvo sell it now before it´s too late...before they transform such a fine brand into a pitiful chinese POS car. Too bad there was not somebody else than Geely with the big pockets to keep Volvo in good hands.
