Can you elaborate on the poor safety part of your thread?
I respectfully disagree with that opinion, based on what I've seen and heard of the design of the smart. Granted, with a lack of mass, there is very little impact absorbsion, but there is a very, very strong passenger compartment area which does a fantastic job of protecting the occupants from intrusion in an impact.
There are very few cars that are designed with as much safety in mind as the smart. The problem is - given it's size, there's only so much they can do.
