I wonder how that'd look with two of the 2009 cars. Because a lot of the crash energy clearly went into disintegrating the Chevy.

I saw a crash test between two MPVs of the same make from 2008/1998 and the difference was almost as big as the one you've shown above.

Makes me not want to buy a car pre 2005.
