Could have been much worse. Could see a busted FR-S, but they could take home some road kill at least...lol

The deer will later repay Ken by gnawing down a tree before he can be swept away by a raging flood... wait, wrong commercial.

Could have been a lot worse. Ken could have died.

Could you imagine. Tests get performed and the car fails miserably and the release date is pushed back another few years.

^I presume all car makers send their prototypes to a third party to run the exact same tests (unofficially) to evaluate, tweak, etc. They should have an idea of what they will score before sending to NHSTA and IIHS <-- their final stage tests are like a formality that officially recognizes the fruits of a maker's efforts.

Haha. Yeah, I was just having morbid thoughts. I'm sure they do a lot of internal tests as well. With my luck they will take the engine out of a crashed car and put it in mine.
