Camry vs Yaris, C-Class vs Smart

[DJKOR]

Small versus large: C-Class versus Smart, Camry versus Yaris

A few weeks back we brought you a crash test between a 1959 Chevy Bel Air and a 2009 Chevy Malibu. Now, for a series of crash tests between two cars of the same era, but of vastly different sizes.

These non-standard tests are being carried out by America's Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which is currently in the throes of celebrating its 50th anniversary. In the first video two Toyotas are pitted against each other in a 40mph (64km/h) offset crash test: a Camry and a Yaris. In the second video, two cars from Daimler are slammed into each other under the same conditions: a Mercedes-Benz C-Class and a Smart ForTwo.

Damn, the Smart car flew haha

[private number]

wow, that front windshield of the camry didnt even break.

[cruzer]

the camry seems to be quite the strong car the impact of the crash wouldnt have killed the yarris driver it woulda been the part where he hit his head on the bonnet of the camry

[httttt]

Wow.. Thanks for Sharing DJ..

I wish the had put on medium cars vs medium cars as well. it seems a bit unfair putting a smart against the merc.

i have a new appreciation of my Aurion over the small car I used to drive.

man..dont think the person in the smart car will survive a crash like that ..

[Kenneth]

moral of the story.... dont buy a smart :P

Just a little unfair in a way but when you think about it, if you were driving a Smart car over here, what is the possibility of hitting a Falcon or a Commodore? Given how many are on the roads, a large car vs a Smart car is a pretty reasonable real world scenario.

HAHA. Very true, but the same could be said for the larger car (that its more likely to hit another larger car) and that is the scenario I'm the most NOT interested in experiencing.

that will buff out.

am i a bad person if i laughed at the smart car?

These are comparisons to medium/large cars, so image compared with 4x4.

I also have a problem with how small/micro cars perform in single car accidents!

[D35]

Wow, the damage on both cars are quick serious. But when i think about it, it makes sense, when both cars are travelling 60kph in opposite direction, which is 120 relative to each. Thats deadly if an accident happens.

Yes. :P :P
