I feel safer after looking at this side impact test photo

 

you don't really know how the S was impacted... what speed was the object coming at?

 

never said I really knew

 

Wow... There's almost NO intrusion there!

The door panel is barely even bowed.

 

Not to rain on your parade, but this is kind of irrelevant without speed and angle data. This could have been a 5 mph impact, for all you know. Granted, I know the S holds up quite well in impact tests, and not just for a convertible, either. Just making a point...

 

~found out it was a 7mph hit by a Vespa Moped J/K

 

See that is kind of frightening THAT much happened from 7 mphs

Oh well... we all know our doors and every other panel around the car is super soft

 

It wasn't hit at all. It just got caught in a cross wind.

 

That happened in the parking lot .... someone dinged it when opening the door of their SUV ....

 

I can testify to the strength of our doors. I got hit by a truck doing 50+ in my passenger door. (Idiot ran the stoplight) The outside of the door was horrible, and the window was busted, but the inside looked as if it hadnt even been hit. I felt a lot better about the strength of it, after the anger has decreased.
