Toyota Tundra Forum

IIHS put mini/small cars against mid size cars. Those small cars sure got banged up bad! I want to see them put a Smart Car and other mini/small cars against SUV's or Pickups. Those results would be scary I bet

This kinda off topic, but i once saw a dodge ram 1500 split in half, the only thing that was together it was a frame, blazer T boned it. Scary stuff.

When you think about it, what small car can handle a major impact at high speed? I was going to get a 350Z to drive when I didn't need the truck for work and then I remembered the deer.......... If you bought a smartcar, etc, I'm pretty sure 40MPH in town is about as far and fast as it would travel. I would hope.

Good Gawd that is one ugly Tundra.

I think the smart car will do at least 65. I used to see people test driving them on the local state highway when one of the dealers was selling them in town.

I wonder why? Seems like a great thing to own if you live in a huge city but on the highway?

If you are selling a car in Texas, it better be able to go down the highway or it's not going to be able to go very far. I'm sure Kansas is the same way.

I have to drive an hour to get to anything. 2hrs to see some of my friends.
