Agreed. Car crash tests don't include rear end collisions, so manufacturers don't put that much effort into strengthening the rear end.

By the way, the car in question is the 2006-2011 Elantra sedan, so it's a bit newer than the 12-14 year old estimate of the OP. It could be anywhere from 7-12 years old. The article is incorrect by stating it's a hatchback - there was no Elantra hatchback in this generation (or any generation since) - the i30 effectively replaced the Elantra hatch in 2007.
