Actually, I beg to differ on the subject of crumple zones. The following is an excerpt from a historical timeline on the Alfa Romeo corporate website:
"The Giulia was the first to adopt a crumple-zone body and feature a five-speed gearbox."
If you've ever seen a GTV that got hit hard in the rear, it will be obvious that there are crumple zones designed into the car.
Another touchpoint: Andrew (on this forum) has mentioned in other threads that he actually has some factory advertising literature on the Giulia Sedan and it's crumple zones, so not only was Alfa designing them into the cars at that point, but they even thought it was important enough to advertise it.
