I'd say that car performed just as it is designed to in a collision...

Take a look at the passenger compartment -- The roof is twisted up, but it wouldn't have crushed either the passenger or the driver. (people in the back seat might not have fared so well though!

I am a bit surprised the airbag didn't go off, but my brother smashed his 92 buick at about 45 mph (rear ended a truck moving at about 10 - 15 mph) and it didn't go off there either. Infact, it ripped the airbag sensor right off, and nothing happened.
