I was researching for Car yards around my area and see if I can get parts to upgrade my Kizashi S, which doesn't came with factory radio. Found 2 crashed units in Kenosha Wisconsin.
After looking at the pictures of these crashed 2010 Kizashis made me concern about the safety of this car.
Here are the links

Looking at the details of the crash and knowing they were totalled. The accident on the dark blue unit was horrible. The guy was hit from behind and the metal sheet went inside the cabine. Made me wonder what will happen if someone was sitting on the back seat at the moment of a similar accident.

wow......that's some serious crashes
but without knowing the details of the accidents, it's hard to make any conclusions.

Someone simply tossed a loose piece of the rear bumper cover into the car. No worries.
I've seen other rear-end collision damage shots of the Kizashi and in all of them the cabin looks to be very well isolated.

Judging from the paint on the wheels and the tape, those are crash test dummy cars. Beside that, who cares what the car ends up looking like if the people walked away? The fact that the doors appear to latch closed speaks huge volumes on the protection the car provides for the passengers
X2 on e spare parts just being thrown in the car.

Your links are now point at the wrong car. I have seen all the public crash test videos for the kizashi and it was better than just about anything else its size.
