i was very impressed with how the structure held up on the smart. it would have been more useful, possibly, doing an offset crash at 45 mph like the NHTSB does.]]>Nov 10th 2006 5:11PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/Nov 10th 2006 5:19PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/Nov 10th 2006 5:19PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/Nov 10th 2006 5:27PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/Nov 10th 2006 5:28PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/Nov 10th 2006 5:29PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/Nov 10th 2006 5:31PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/
And did you even watch the video? The tests are pretty conclusive. The test dummies record all the data on the severity of the crash and the car got good ratings]]>Nov 10th 2006 5:35PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/Nov 10th 2006 5:42PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/

I agree! I'd rather own a smaller car but replaced a compact sedan with a mid-sized sedan because the bigger car is more protective.

True that small cars are safer than ever before, but to make any small car as safe as a larger and heavier car--ALL ELSE EQUAL--you'd have to repeal the laws of physics.]]>Nov 10th 2006 6:27PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/Nov 10th 2006 6:42PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/Nov 10th 2006 6:48PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/
He didn't crash into a wall at 200 MPH did he? Dale Earnhart crashed into a wall head on (at a much lower speed) with safety gear on and didn't survive. ]]>Nov 10th 2006 7:09PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/Nov 10th 2006 7:44PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/Nov 10th 2006 8:26PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/10/the-5th-gear-smart-crash-video/Nov 10th 2006 8:30PM
