That first head on crash test is very interesting especially when you consider how much distance the damage to each front end traveled during the crash. This may be the reason.

Wink Good notes for the sideimpact crashtest
NCAP crashtest attested also for the sideimpact crashtest good notes for the smart.

here ist the link to the test (unfortunately it ist in german):

so i guess your kids are safer in a 07 smart than in a 68 chrysler, but i agree the 68' chrysler has more goodfeeling' patina!

Based on those videos, I think the Smart fared better than jap econoboxes such as the Honda Fit. I mean, the crashworthiness (or lack thereof) in the Fit was a reason my mom didnt get one of those.
