when my 84 civic was hit from behind at 35+ mph, other then relocating the rear axle, and spare tire, it held up rather well, and was able to be driven to where it sits today (kind of like a dog with a limp) it was rather impressive how well it took the impact, andyou could clearly see how the car was designed to fold on impact.
oh, and the vehicle that hit me from behind was a brand new pickup truck being driven from one dealership to another by some retired guy, the truck was noticably damaged, altho still drivable, my car however was not, altho, with luck might some day be again.
