    that thing can rip shit up! when you loose in a race, just ram your opponent at 50K's, and drive away..lol Still would make me pay money for one.. it would be neat to see what jesse james can make out of it...

    I love those little cars! lol

    Crash tests have never meant sh*t to me tho... every crash is sooo much different and you can never ever predict the outcome of an accident.


    Safety is a function of the driver.

    I agree, crash tests have to be taken with a grain of salt. It's a lot different when you're hitting a car like your own, and when you're hitting something bigger like a Hummer or a semi-trailer...

    That appears to stand up to frontal and side impacts better than even Subaru. I am extremely interested in that car with a view to buying/leasing one. 3.5 litres per 100 km is absolutely Incredible ecomomy - better even than my 250 cc motorcycle and about double the fuel economy as the 888. My only misgiving was crashworthiness, and these pix probably just sold the car.

    I hear they will be here in Sept. Can anyone confirm that, or provide any more interesting information about them?
