With all fairness, this could have been caused by a 30 mph accident by somebody not being able to stop in time at a light. Since the car sits low, most of the time accidents won't directly hit the bumper but higher up on the headlight area.

Cars these days are meant to absorb the impact to protect the driver.

If the impact had been at a much higher speed, the damage would have been way worse than a simple bumper, hood, headlight and pushed back radiator.
