Get more info on the Smartcar http://www.myride.com/vehicle-... recent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tests, the 2008 Smart Fortwo, the smallest car for sale in the US market, earned the top rating of good for front and side crash protection. Its seat/head restraints earned the second highest rating of acceptable for protection against whiplash in rear impacts. Smart Fortwo is classified a microcar, meaning it's smaller even than minicars. Weighing about 1,800 pounds, the Smart is more than 3 feet shorter and almost 700 pounds lighter than a Mini Cooper.

that is because they are two completely different things. Weight / Size / Materials will not be exactly to scale.

What an ironic comment.

So if I throw a hot wheels car at a brick wall at 60 mph (a fairly conservative speed for a full size automobile) it won't be damaged very much? Hmm, someone please try this and post the video response.

Fact #3. More people die in side impact crashes than in frontal or rear crashes. If you are in a heavy vehicle and get hit by an equally heavy vehicle, not only does the impact have to STOP the car hitting you, but it also has to START moving your car. His comment of "you'll be safer in a prius" does not apply for a side impact, where the higher mass of the prius works to the disadvantage to the passanger.Fact #5. The smaller the frame, the higher the structural integrity. IE: hotwheels.

Wow... A *LOT* of you commenters *NEED* to take a basic physics class to see that SMART is safer than it seems. Fact #1. It is not the G force of the car that is in question, but the total G force experienced by the PASSENGERS. Look up 5th gear's "volvo vs Peugot" and see how the smaller Peugot uses the Volvo's crumple zone to it's advantage.Fact #2. The smaller the vehicle, the stronger the frame. That's why heavy vehicles are death traps during side-impacts.
