Mr. Jim, I don't think I've ever seen a Mitsubishi Mirage... nice looking car. I've certainly have seen the other small cars like the Yaris, Scion IQ, etc.
The Smart car has amazing crash test ratings, I would like to see how the other small cars hold up. I'm sure you have seen the 70 mph Smart Car crash test where the 'cage' of the car is virtually un-damaged when smashed into a concrete wall.
Even though the cage of the Smart Car is intact, the sudden decrease in speed is deadly to any human.
What I don't understand about the Smart Car, is the premium fuel requirement. Even the Lincoln Town Car we inherited uses regular. LOL!
MM.
