Where are these people coming from?

Here’s a couple more of the “aluminum replica” morons in the IIHS Bel Air/Malibu thread:

Thte 1959 Bel Air is a replica car made from lighter aluminum alloy!!! A true ‘59 would hold its own. And I know this because a couple of my friends own one and we all go to the lowrider shows and both watch and participate in events!!!

Yeah, it’s a shame they decieve people watching this. That Bel Air would total the ‘09 Chevy. This is such BS.

And here’s my reply to those chuckleheads:

WTF are you smoking? Aluminum “replica”, my ass…truth is, the IIHS picked a “worse case” scenario by putting the ‘59 Bel Air against the ‘09 Malibu, because of design faults of the Bel Air (the X-frame, lack of reinforcing of the A-pillar, etc.). Add the lack of modern safety design and equipment to those design flaws and you get what we saw in the video. There’s no conspiracy by the IIHS to make the ‘59 BA look bad in a crash against a newer car, improvements in design already did that.
