tbh, he could have been doing 100mph, thats held up well in that respect. granted he probably wasnt, my point being all cars could end up like that depending on the circumstances

Agreed, saying something like that is daft.
Any car can crumple like that, ive seen a Honda Jazz that was crashed at between 70-80 and the radiator was touching the bulk head, women got out with 7 stitches. Any car can crush like that.
Unlucky about the Nova, looked nice!!

So you would prefer the car to be solid and transmit all of the impact energy into your internal organs turning them into paste?

The difference is most modern cars are made to do that, that wasn't, if that makes sense

It was. Novas have crumple zones in them.
