Smart Cars...
Saw one of these today for the first time at one of my dealer clients....it's about half the size of my Tahoe. The guy driving it was 6' 4"
 ...they are supposed to get 45 mpg....not sure if they come with a big block  www.smart.com

Re: Smart Cars...
I saw one of those things the other day and just couldn't imagine putting someone I cared about in it... how would it fare against the Tahoe in an accident???

Re: Smart Cars...
I would not want to take a side hit from a 70 Eldo in that thing.it looks like something Dave Deal could have drawn forty years ago.

Re: Smart Cars...
I'm gonna' buy one and keep it in the back of the Tahoe...if I break down or run out of gas I'll pull it out and keep going

Re: Smart Cars...
Probably as safe or safer than a motorcycle.

Re: Smart Cars...
Gotta hand it to the guy though.....REAL NADS, unlike most of the customers in that dealership who are trying to buy some!

Re: Smart Cars...
Apparently they're quite safe as the cockpit is inside a safety cage. They've been selling in Canada for a number of years with a turbo diesel for power.
My thoughts about getting hit in one by an SUV is that it will behave like a ping pong ball & shoot you clear!
