My opinion: the car did awesome and since its a 450 I know that the 451 would do even better with the added length. Another great wreck for smart!

They do fair well in crashes.

Bye bye 450, you did your job well

Oh yeah, not filled with gibberish about how unsafe that car must be.

Maybe you missed this when somebody said they were safer in a F150...

It's permanently saved on my hard drive now and I'm thinking of making copies to hand out next time I get the stupid questions about safety...

Although that is an interesting picture, it really doesn't say much about what happened. Is it the same type of crash? What was the speed was involved? What year was the F150?

A few years ago the F150 was basically a steel coffin. When it hit a wall, it would fold up like an accordion. They did change the design to the integrity of the cabin so it will stay in tact. I'm not sure if this is the same model or not.
