But, with the Smart, it's not just a matter of hitting a truck. I saw a video of one hitting a Buick Lucerne in a head-on crash test. It literally bounced off the nose of the Lucerne like a rubber ball, went backwards and flipped over. I wish I still had the video to post............I don't.
Yes, the smarts will bounce off whatever it hits. I mean, it's only 830kg. (What's that...< 1,800lbs?).
