"The vehicle sustaining the most total damage was the Infiniti G35, made by Nissan, which had total estimated repair costs of $14,000. In the straight-on front impact test alone, the G35 sustained $5,223 in damage"

How the fvck do you do over 5k in damage by hitting something at 6mph??

You put a bunch of stuff really close to the front of the car and charge ridiculous amounts of money for every last part... ?

poor design of bumper and bumper materials as well as the materials chosen to absorb the impact.

in addition the rear o the g35coupe is designed in sch a manner that almost any impact will inlude the trk and tail lghts as opposed to most other cars that have a larger gap to protect the trunk and taillights.
