Umm.. pretty much any car would be screwed in that situation. Crumple zones only go so far, and no car is really designed to be in that sort of collision. I think the smart car is useless though, unless you perhaps live in san francisco or a hellish city like that. In which case I probably wouldn't even bother with a car. They really should have brought the diesels over instead of the crappy Mitsubishi gassers, and should also have either made it a CVT or a a regular stick shift.
