That video shows a previous model 450. The new model 451, which is for sale in the USA, is 8" longer and has new seats, new crash structure, new dash, etc. etc. It just earned the highest possible rating from the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) as a result of the improvements. Thanks!

I see the dude in charge didn't want to make the ride into the barrier.

How about this dump truck, with 6 or 7 feet of engine and pure steel in front of the driver...Is it any safer? Judge for yourself....
