I agree but I think we all should start driving smaller cars to stop this from happening because big cars are very rarely needed, most cars big and small only usually carry one person.
Safety is all we've been hearing for the past 10 years,and now that all vehicles are so much safer (My F-150 has been a 5* since 2004) And safety is stilll not my problem.
@legomanv16: You would be worse off, due to the lack of sophisticated crumple zones, reinforcement, and safety devices like airbags in a Lincoln Mk IV. Furthermore, a Mk IV is far more likely to get into a crash due to its excessive size and weight, poor maneuverability, lack of ABS or other driver aids, and lack of steering feel, and possible corrosion. Old Detroit cars are NOT safe. I'd rather take my chances with a compact than add another two ton hybrid pig to the roads.
Being more crash worthy DOES NOT MEAN "SAFER"! A heavier car has a much further braking distance and is less maneuverable. Which means a big car is more likely to get into a crash in the first place. Which would you prefer? Survive a crash? Or avoid the crash altogether?
It was supposed to be the shape of the car (egg shaped) that was supposed to make it safe. If you ever seens eggs holding up heavy books you would know. This is shitty though that this happened. Although maybe this particular car was just poorly made, the bad one of the bunch. After all they do testing to find badly made cars.

I wonder what a Smart vs Hummer H1 test would look like.
pspking597 probably if the hunmer was low enough maybe the smart passengers will be kinda ok....
I think we should all drive semi trucks.
so size does matter...
Of course
Toyota, Ford, Lexus and Honda rocks :D
although there is recall for toyota i still luv em d=

1:49.
the dummy getts partially put under the other car.
i think little cars do fine in crash tests but only until they hit a bigger car
no duh
thumbs up for smart car softball pitch at 2:28?

it's a ford so there probably won't be much left of your truck.
Wonder how one would do against my F-250?
BDBWTE have you ever spread peanut butter on a slice of toast?
I can test it on rigs of roda lol
It comes down to one thing money how safe do you wont to be.I DO NOT DRIVE SMALL CARS THEY ARE I CALL DEAF TRAPS
You mean they can't hear?
Wait, you can't hear inside them?
