Who’d have though it, huh? Well, at least now there is scientific record, the IIHS offset crashed micro cars with mid size sedans, any bets on the outcome? I'm getting kind of tired of hearing people talk about how safe the micro cars are, just because they did okay in the IIHS offset crash test. In the real world no one runs into a deformable barrier, and if you are driving a micro car, the vehicle you tangle with is likely to be larger than you.
