Ahhh that means it's poorly built.

The problem is economics. The VE has curtain airbags but doesn't have the technology to hide it in the pillar (like the merc's, BMW's do) and thus the pillars are huge.

Not quite true. The airbags have very little to do with the pillar. The airbags hang from the roof and the cannisters which inflate are hidden behind the pillars near the rear window. The tab on the pillar says airbag so emergency personnel know it has a curtain. (if not deployed).
