it is soft. it's supposed to absorb the energy from a collision. after that isnt enough to dissipate all the energy the crumple zones on the fenders are next to get crushed.

...and if its still not enough sometimes (at even greater speeds) the hatch or the trunk (sedan) will collapse despite being a head on collision--all for preserving the integrity of the cabin.

im glad you're alright.
