Hey
That is why there are so many of them around, they just dont seem to quit, or get smashed, or rust or use fuel. The perfect car?

Getting back to real crash testing, here are some Mercedes-Benz/smart tests from 2004.

smart car versus an 1800 kg Mercedes-Benz E-Class, at 100 km/h (62.1 MPH) closing speed, offset head on.
