Kinda wonder how the Benz would do against a Ford F150, or at least something that's not half its weight...

Ya think the contender was a bit out of its weight class?

Next up: MB versus a Geo Metro!

Well i assumed the purpose was to show how a mercedes does against a great majority of the cars on the road, but still interesting, they should show it hitting something big, like another s-class. have yall seen the site about M-class, that has a bunch of stuff on safety?pretty good stuff. http://www.whnet.com/4x4/crashes.html

Actually the test was made to show what happens to a small car if it collides whith a larger vehichle.

Had the test been done in the US, we would have seen an F250 disintegrate a Miata..
