The reporting is as biased as the stunt...
<<The message became somewhat cluttered when the tiny Honda broke the SUV.>>
The Honda didn't break the hydraulic hose. High hydraulic pressure broke the hose, or it was left dangling for something to catch it.
<<A few hours later the truck was repaired and the Accord, which proved to be too tough a competitor, was replaced with a Hyundai Excel.>>
The Honda was replaced because the first pass crushed it beyond recognition.
That's just bad reporting.
