Ya someone posted that pic a week or 2 ago it was pretty funny! Everyone was saying the ex is probably a 2wd 5.4 if it even has anything in it! Probably no drivetrain at all or interior!

Well that commercial remided me of standing on a soda can. If you stand on it easy it will hold you. If someone flicks it and puts a dent in the can the can will crush. Hope nobody will flick the smart car frame. lol

Here you go guys. Here is a making of that commercial video and the actual video.

smart car Safety -- smart car Commercial on Tridion Safety Cell -- smart USA - YouTube

High Strength Steel Safety Cage -- 2013 smart car Safety Features - smart USA - YouTube

Remember this is static load not dynamic. If an Excursion were to smash a smart car between a wall and its bumper the smart car would be a pancake. I am sure if the smart car is not being crushed by something much heavier that it will survive.

I saw this a while back. I'm pretty sure the air bag did no good in this case.

I want the bumper sticker I saw on an Ex down in SoCal,,
"Keep buyin your prius and smart cars,,
I WANT your gas!"
And of course every time I pass one of them,, I roll a lil'extra coal into it and dump out some nice black smoke for them,,, and NO,, I don't care if it offends them or pisses them off, or makes diesels or Excursions look bad,, I live in AMERICA,, and I get to drive what and how I like!!
