That pic must not have been taken in Amsterdam. All smart cars have been tossed by drunks in the water.

please shut the fuck up... that's true only if only smart cars were found on the roads.

See what happens when a smart car hits a car slightly larger



imagine if it's an SUV or an F650.

Smart cars are for fat people, and people who like to smell their own farts. If you are going to be that cheap, just man up and buy a ducati 990.

Like I said, it's not perfect, but it scored well on its tests. That side collision impact was done with a huge barrier, simulating an SUV. The Airbag did an excellent job of deploying and protecting the driver, and the head on collision had the car totally rebound from the barrier, with the damage not so bad.

I had an argument with Ben (gehustmasomething) not too long ago about the safety of the Smartcar and he had some better videos/links. Is it safer than a Hummer? No. Is it safer than any other vehicle that size? Probably.
