It isn't just about tough, its about how the structure disspates energy. A major factor will have been how fast the Silverado was travelling compared to how fast your wife was travelling in your 240.

In real life, real world crashes, there are too many variables, and of course that is one of the reasons Volvo have for years had teams in Sweden analysing all serious accidents involving Volvo cars, to learn what happens out in the real world.

I always find it really frightening to see relatively lightly damaged vehicles in which people have died. You're just really really lucky to be able to go home and hug her.
