A couple of years ago I went to Japan and they already had smart car dealers and people were driving them on the streets. When gas goes to $9:00 to $10 like in Europe and Asia, then we might be seeing a lot more of these.

Dang, Nate, you're pretty passionate about this. Tell you what. When you buy your smart car, let me know and I'll borrow my Uncle's Hummer, and we'll meet head on. If you survive the crash, I'll think about getting one myself. lol...To each their own I guess. Good for you if you want to get one. I just don't see the practicality nor the safety in it. Especially here in TX where Large trucks, SUV's and Semi's rule the road. Good luck on your investment if or when you do decide to get one, and may the Hwy Gods be on your side as you take the streets with your new ride.

Crash Video
I was skeptical too until i saw this video a while back. Barring the initial impact and debris flying everywhere, i'd say it holds up pretty darn well. Not that i'll be trading in my baby for one anytime soon...
btw, have the HHR's side impact results been released?

Thank you!!!!! Hell of a wreck, Never saw that one! Would I still drive one now??? Knowing the car will sacrifice itself fully for me??? Yes!
I must be honest though. Everything I said about the car, Safety-wise, Is an understatement. I will also go as far as betting, Txsman, That the Tahoe would sustain more damage than the Smart.J/k. That thing's a tank.
