One-star-rated sedan crumples like a hankie in crash tests

What kind of shoddy craftsmanship earns a measly one star crash rating? And what would the deathmobile look like hitting a wall at a mere 40 mph? These are questions best answered by the above video, one that shows the Chinese-built Brilliance BS6 sedan hitting a wall in slo-mo and really putting the hurt on a family of crash test dummies.

Seriously, what is the frame of this car made out of, marshmallows and wishes? This thing crumbles so fast it's like it was looking for an excuse to kill this entire family. But then I guess that's what happens when you build a car that you're trying to sell for a fraction of the cost of European, Japanese, and American cars. Note to self: never drive a Brilliance BS6 sedan, at least not at speeds exceeding 10MPH.
