So how do you know when the whole small efficient car movement has gone too far? Probably when new crash tests are yielding the below results, and experts are recommending consumers to buy larger autos.

Below is a video of new crash tests being done on the Smart car, and all I can say is...how was this not realized before they even made it? These aren't collisions between the Smart car and a tractor trailer, mind you.

I was surprised that the Honda Fit had similar results...

I see one every morning on the way to school, and every single time the thought crosses my mind of how messed up that thing would be if I hit it :ownedrun:

At least you get excellent gas mileage when the "car" is airborne...;)
