The properties of the material used will influence crash performance, no doubt about it. If you ever see a video of a fire crew cutting into an aluminium car it's amazing how much harder it is for them than with a steel car. They end up crushing the aluminium and taking 3 or 4 goes at each cut, where with a steel car they go straight through it!
