Interesting video of crash technology on display. I would like to see what would happen with the same cars in a direct head on acident at say... 70 MPH.

Make sure you watch the 2nd vid, 4 door Mercedes versus a SMART car.

I am convinced, big new car is better than tiny new car. Go figure.

That poor 59.. those had Xframes so really no support at all in that kind of crash.

I agree. If you just look at the relative densities. A 17.5' x 7' car weighting 3600lbs? That's really light. I like the 59's too. Poor car.

I love how that SMART CAR gets Tossed! the mercedes doesn't even stop in that accident. I don't care how many airbags that thing has, i will never get in one of those death traps...
