Love em if you like, but there’s no way those things can absorb any impact when the “crumple zone” is about eight inches. I can’t wait to see the death stats on those things in five years. It’s going to be astronomical, I guarantee, and will make about as much sense in retrospect as ethanol.
Agree, whenever I see someone in their “Smart” car, I wonder how smart they are going to feel when it takes a can opener to get them out after a minor fender bender. Maybe they would just be buried in their Smart car after a bad crash.
