Sure?

Of course not. Nothing in life is sure.

But a Mac truck hitting a A 2008 Kia Rio
has some predictable results for the Kia.
KInda like a tank hitting a tissue box......

How many airbags does that Couple Deville have? Safety windshield glass? Crumple zones? ABS?

Cars have come a long way in the past 30 years as far as safety goes.

I think we would all agree that the Kia would sustain more physical damage than the Coupe Deville. But I think we are more interested in which driver and passengers would sustain more damage, and the answer to that question may be very different.
