They are built different.  Better or worse is the debate.

>(head-on crash test between a 1959 Chevy and a 2009 Chevy)

That wasn't a head on crash, it was offset.  Maybe on purpose.

I wonder if this was the same outfit that "showed" that my old '73
Corolla had a 25% chance of bursting into flames if read ended
by another vehicle going 35 mph while Ford was denying the
Pinto had an explosion problem. 

Of course the best thing is not to crash.  We all do that every
day. :-)
