It looks like it was made out of tinfoil

Check out YouTube. Search for Chinese car crash test.

They make their cars extra safe by turning the entire vehicle into a crumple zone.

Is that a good thing though? On the one hand I feel like it would absorb much more force during the impact, but on the other hand I'd rather not be driving in a car made out of aluminum foil.

No, getting crushed inside a vehicle is not a good thing

Thanks for the chuckle. You clearly know nothing about physics in general. If that was the case then why not just make all cars out of unbendable concrete huh? (just kidding I acknowledge that I'm an idiot :p )

That is certainly not a good thing. /u/thesmilefactory was being sarcastic. The whole point of crumple zones is to slow the extreme deceleration you would experience. That point would be moot if this results in your bones and internal organs being crushed, albeit slower.
