Burnout Paradise Progress: Your car is going to get messed up

It looks like Burnout Developer is .taking vehicle damage seriously.

[The presenter] had the driver stop and walked the room through what had happened to the ride from a structural standpoint. There were individual scratches on the sides, the exhaust system was hanging on by a threat, and the crumpled hood had sacrificed the overall wellbeing of the ride and the roof was beginning to cave in from the domino damage effect.

This is great; I really look forward to destroying vehicles through 65 streets. Burnout has been my racing game of choice ever since my friend said, "Let's play this." Hopefully they are still able to maintain the events in their open-world version. I could go without Time Trials though...those made the Elite Gold achievement a pain in the ass.
