Hit head on about 45 mph - front end obliterated and car totaled. Air bags did NOT deploy. Seat belt did NOT lock, so I was catapulted forward and caught in a seat beat sling shot. Resulted in horrific chest and torso bruising, and banged head on driver's door frame or window. This car has gorgeous styling, inside and out - but its very uncomfortable, like a pretty high heel that hurts your feet - and since its safety mechanisms failed, it's DANGEROUS. Leather seats are flat, hard, and uncomfortable - a back buster. Smooth pavement not a problem but HORRIBLE on uneven pavement and bumps - LOTS of cabin jostling. Really angry about safety failures but not too sad about losing the car.
