Ever wonder how they'd do in a crash test with a fullsized car? Now you can check it out. Mercedes put out some crash test footage with this car and an E320 series Mercedes.

Along with that footage you get loads of other stuff comparing different crash tests.

What you see might surprise you.

So...How'd it do?

Ya how?

[egghead]

well i'm sure if they used a little faster or side impact scene that they can lift the whole car and bypass the ambulance and coraner and simply put the whole thing in the ground

it is a casket on wheels right?

:p

nooooooooo they smashed up a prefectly good merc... who would do that?? honestly, use a Vauxhall or Ford or somthing but not a merc lol

couldnt watch the footage (dialup)... but i do like the smart car, they have a small roadstar version (fourFour - i think)... looks pretty cool. I would think they have good crash rating... as they are made? by mercedes... lots of airbags and anti-skid/lock technology?!

How does your friend like the car Zen? is it in Darwin?
