The Corolla looks like it took the full blow. Its amazing how mangled up it is. This is where you should realize that there is not as much protection between you and a crash as you think that there is. Sites like these are why I will not drive a car. The frame of the truck helps to absorb the impact and it is more substancial. I'll take a fuel economy hit to keep me that much safer just in case of this.

Why not drive a Grand Prix?

As long as you get T-boned by a Corolla, you're fine. :yup:

The opposite is actually often true. The frame does not absorb the impact as well and transfers more of the impact to the driver. This is the reason crumple zones exist, the Corolla's front crumpled so easily for a reason, to absorb the energy of the impact so the occupants don't have to.

Correct...

You look at the driver's door of the Corolla and you can see there was 'space' for the driver left.

Actually both cars did pretty good. The Grand Prix didn't seem that bad either...
