Smart Car vs F150

Limited · 12-05-2008, 11:49 AM

So on the National News last night they were talking about that **** little smart car! Thing creeps me out, but anyways. In the 11 months they have been selling it in the US 25,000-ish sold. The F150 sell 45,000-ish every month

Neat little fact

I think the smart car is SO ugly hahaha...What do you think? If you had to pick and only had two choices...Vote in the poll!

i wouldn't sit in a smart car if it was only to go across a parking lot. the thing just doesn't look safe compared to the larger cars that are on the road.

I do beg to differ, I will say it is rather impressive design, but none the less I will always feel safer in something built off a truck plat forum. I have seen the videos too

Still scares the **** out of me. The mid sized truck saved my life.

Give me a truck and its MPG any day I will survive. Cheers

that folks is why you want to be the one with the bigger car. whizing past traffic less than a foot from you is just dangerous, but people never think of it like that though.

I'll take the F-150. I wouldn't drive a car like the smart car because I don't like the idea of being squashed like a bug lol

i just saw a smart car crash test yesterday, the little thing held up better than i thought it would.

i'll see if i can find the video.
