....I like it!!....that’s a very cool looking Hummer....I hope they produce it, although GM says today that they could sell off the Hummer Division as well as closing down some truck/SUV production....this whole gasoline spike is unlike anything in my experiance.

It is the perfect city car for a single or a couple. But those of us who live where it is rough...Hard to picture myself driving that down an cow path in the brush looking for quail. Where would you put your shotgun?

Until you get sandwiched between that Ford F150 and the Hummer..... If anyone gets sandwiched as such, you're pretty well screwed. (Trust me, I'm a newschopper pilot, and I was just over a fatal wreck where a Suburban was cut in half, LENGTHWISE.)
The smart got a top crash test rating from the insurance industry, and USAA's rate to me is reflecting that. I live in an urban environment, and this is the ultimate urban car. It's certainly not for everyone in every place.
P.S. Remember also that many SUV's often have extremely poor crash test / rollover results and insurance premiums for them are reflected likewise.

Dream on. The simple physics of a collision is going to result in the majority of the energy being transfered to the smaller vehicle. Since that pop can is WAY smaller then a number of other vehicles on the road, be my guest and drive it all you want, but don’t kid yourself that you aren’t going to take a hit in safety if you get in a collision.

Mileage? Hmm... it's red!
I didn't buy it for the mileage, but if you must must know, I get about 34 in town, and have gotten 48 on the highway at 70+ mph.

It is far from a pop can, pop.

the majority of the energy being transfered to the smaller vehicle... Only so much of the NRG will be absorbed by the collapse of some of the smaller vehicle's structure. The rest will be absorbed by the human inside said vehicle.
It's a bit safer than a motorcycle.

I see one on GA 400 every so often. I’m sure the design is fine, but it looks unstable to me - like its going to fall over. I wouldn’t drive one of those things if you gave it to me.
Besides, if you are ever in a accident with anything bigger than a motor scooter, you’re going to be the first one there...

That will result in the load "pop" sound one hears at impact.....

I guess it’s why someone called it a pop can.

Those things are all over Europe. Looks like a smart choice (no pun intended) in the right situation.
Me? The road that leads to my ranch has potholes bigger than that.....
