Really? I'm unaware of the differences in the UK

model has a 3/8" thick shaped steel bumper on the front and back, none
of that "cover it over with a piece of flimsy plastic cosmetic bumper
crap that cracks and caves in if you look at a car bumper the wrong
way" it also has a 5/8" thick skid plate underneath - very important
so as not to damage the undercarriage when going over another vehicle ;-)
Building something like a tank is not the optimum way of protecting the
occupants in a crash. In an accident, the most squishy bits tend to fare the
worse - and guess what they are? :-)
