That is the genius of the unibody, it will save your life as it crumples in a predefined engineered way. It is also a curse as the integrity of the unibody design needs to be preserved so it is structurally sound, which means the steel needs to be pristine. Course, if you never hit anything, and nothing ever hits you, I suppose you can get by with a rusted out shell.
