I'm crying on the inside knowing that if the tests would gtfa I could have my FRS right now maybe

Also poor cars.

I've seen enough of these videos to assess good performance, and this car is amazing. Note how the center section is barely affected by the front offset crash. Wow.

That will buff out

I note that one of the side-impact rigs has bigger (and in the eyes of some, nicer) wheels than the BRZ

Can I have those headlights from the side impact crashes?

I have been to the facility not far from home. World standard testing. Always done at 64 kph in frontal offset. I was present when the Pontiac GTO's we sent to the USA were crashed... so loud and quick.. such a waste !!!
The guys that do this are so fastidious with the scientific nature.. I think it did well.. I for one am happy... just never want to see mine look like these..

I heard last month that they got a BRZ for testing. The test facility is less then 2hrs from me.

Lambo spiders don't look good after a wreck either...

We are crashing endangered cars for testing?!?! This hurts my soul, it really does...

Unfortunately, as of about 30 minutes ago, I can attest to how good this car holds up. I came over an overpass and *bam*, no chance to avoid the truck. Crunched my hood, bumper, intake, and bent the a/c condenser it seems. Driver airbag deployed. Didn't feel a thing and nobody was injured. I'll go to the yard tomorrow and get pics. But this car holds up.

That just sucks, at least we all know it's a safe vehicle. But it's still a very sad thing to happen...
