    @godsadog not even, define cheap. an older ford explorer could get hit with 100 of these, and drive away witha bump. you hit one of these with that same explorer, it will drive through it. get real. these cars are cheap, and do well for what they are, not amoung all vehicles.

    @godsadog if a full sized car hit a suv, it would damage the bottom 1/4 of the doors or front. if the same car hit the smart car it would fly over the smart car

  11. Smaller cars are …
    Smaller cars are only more dangerous because of the size of larger vehicles. In other words, the roads wouldn’t be so unsafe if everyone drove smaller vehicles.

    @godsadog lol have to use google to watch videos with just the code, how stupid of utube.
    And I meant that the driver/passengers in an SUV would make it through a crash with a smaller car with less damages than the driver/passengers of the smaller car and that is true (in most cases) even if the damage to the vehicle itself is more or less the same.

  23. @eddson11 Google it …
