Thats the problem with cars today, IMO. For saftey standards, they have to make them absorb impact in order to not injure the occupants. Well, for that to happen everything up front needs to crush. It ends up being very expesive; I would rather have a few bruises than a messed up front end. My 94 Chevy had a chrome front bumper, and that thing took down alot! Today, the standards are a little different.
