They may also have just freaked when the felt the rear end hit and decided to leave it for someone more experienced. I'm generally not into brand bashing. I think people should get whatever they like.
That being said, a few years ago, I was driving straight ahead in my Tahoe (steal bumper) when a Grand Cherokee Limited Edition Laredo something or other (the one that looks like a wagon, rather than a Jeep) decided to turn left in front of me. He turned into a convenience store driveway; apparently he was having a 7-11 emergency and needed his smokes in a real hurry. Needless to say, he was deemed to be at fault.
Anyway, our front bumpers smacked. Mine was bent, but not too badly. His front bumper and grille had completely disintegrated. Having an inquisitive streak, I started reassembling small pieces of forensic evidence. His bumper was made of Styrofoam (yes, STYROFOAM) wrapped in some plastic microskin (similar to what they wrap around bicycle helmets). Anyway, his front grille, radiator and g-d knows what all else were trashed. I just don't know what some manufacturers are thinking.
Don't tell anyone, but I must admit, I would consider one of those stickers.
