Our much loved smart was just crash tested on national TV.
They showed a yellow/black hitting a wall on the left front corner.
The reporter stated the ''tiny car got very high marks in the test, much better than any other small car!

The report was on CNN's, Robin Meade's "Morning show" at 7:00 am East coast time!!!!

Are we smart or what

Saw the same thing on our local Washington D.C. NBC station. Said the Smart did "Good" in both front and side crash tests and "acceptable" in a rear collisions.

remember "good" is the highest possible rating, "acceptable" is secopnd. I was unaware they conducted a rear crash test
