I have to agree it looks set up but on the other hand, why would you set that up?

The vid has been out for some time, but I say it's a set up.

That's correct. This vid has been out for quite a long time, and Skunk2 confirmed that the entire thing was staged. Their TSX was meant to be returned to Honda for scraping, so they said f**k it and had some fun with it since it was going to be destroyed anyway.

Staged. And I already watched this one last year. Yes, it's a very awful scene eventhough the car would be destroyed later on.

Wish I could have a way to save it.

It was staged. The car was a pre-production version that was slated for the crusher and so the skunk2 guys thought it would be fun to stage that for our viewing pleasure.
