Looks like a US NCAP test, full-width frontal crash on solid barrier at 35 mph (http://www.safecarguide.com/exp/usncap/idx.htm).The Smart is brilliant, can park it sideways in parallel parking places, very convenient in congested towns. Only problem with the old model was slow semi-automatic gearbox and max speed of about 80mph. Hope the new one is better performance-wise... Otherwise, you can still get one of these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPQIizRp9ck

i was not expecting it to still be in one piece!!!!!!!!!!!

im a little interested in the speed that was going. it looked like it hit it pretty hard, and came back a lot more intact than i would expect. but a guy who doesn't watch a lot of crash tests, and given the small amount of screen visible, i think it would be easy for me to miscalculate that speed. but I'm gonna guess taht was a 30mph front test?

I saw one of those too the other day down the street from my house...... (Greenville, SC) It was so cute I couldn't help but to laugh. It was a check driving it.

My friend's Dad just got one, 20k...... : /

i live in a small town here in missouri and theres one of these lil things runnin the streets .
