For 70mph i think that holds up quite nicely, I hate the little things, but ill give them props especially if they have the hayabusa engine in there

And for shits and giggles i thought this was cute

Apparently you haven't seen the whole video where they say anyone inside would have been killed. Yes the car will hold up nicely - that's not what you want. The yaris will crumple, giving you 3 feet front or back to absorb the force. The smart car has 6 inches to 12 feet, meaning your body takes somewhere between 5-10 times the forces in a smart car as a yaris, or any normal car.(oh oh! but my passenger door still opens and close!!)

Some of my friends were complaining about the xb getting smashed up in a 5-10 mph collision. I told them to talk to any chiropractor, and see how many people they are treating for 5-10 mph collision.

I guess if you'd rather spend 50 grand a year on medical expenses, instead of 5 grand once to fix your car, then sure, go ahead an go for the tiniest unibody solid steel car you can find. If you want to live through a car accident, then I'd suggest a car where your front feet are farther than 12 inches from the bumper.

You NEED room for crumple zones.(not I want, NEED)
