Agree......referencing the video of the Volt side impact crash test, could be the armor from the latest Army tank might have prevented the damage.

Main Battle Tank - M1, M1A1, and M1A2 Abrams

With auto's from any manufacturer, having been designed going back to day 1, why are there in some cases fires after a crash ?
