Actually that's the last model. These are done at 40mph so it's more severe than the truck crash above, but there's still no damage to the passenger compartment.
Here's the new model; I couldn't find an offset crash test but thought I'd post this anyway because it's fascinating -- it shows all sorts of crazy angles you don't get to see, like a view from below:

You can see how the exhaust system is designed to come loose from its moorings rather than buckle during a crash -- I assume this is to stop people from being burned by hot exhaust gases if the engine keeps running after the crash?
