Intrepidation

Well of course, if it had come from the Zone it wouldn't have made it 10 feet after installation before breaking. Built to Fap, DuraFap.

I'M SORRY I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER YOUR AXLE SHAFT BREAKING AGAIN.

What you actually meant to say was "should have got a second gen".

I like the last one a lot.

Subaru did all of the engineering, chassis tuning, and most of the engine. Toyota supplied the fuel delivery system and styled the car. While I'm disappointed they look so similar, these cars appear to be so good its forgivable. Also at least they aren't ugly. Plus they don't share showroom space..unless there's some wacky Subaru- Scion dealer out there.

Coupe or not this is a very good looking car...right until you get to the front of it.

Welcome Dan!

Yeah exactly, our vans are bricks on wheels, and hardly modern.

Man the amount of kool-aid that guy is drinking is enough to give a small town's worth of children diabetes.

Like the video said, probably a low chance of survival, but then no matter the size of a vehicle, as they also said, decelerating that quickly from that speed is very likely to be fatal. Squishy human bodies can't cope well with that amount of force. I don't like the smart. It's horribly inefficient for such a small car (with its gas engines anyway). But from a safety standpoint it is very well engineered.

You know what works really well? A key. Of the ideas NHTSA has been throwing out lately a standardized keyless ignition system is one of their better ones.

*Sigh* Yes, it does have crumple zones. It makes U-bodies look like the tin foil deathtraps they are.

That's not technically correct. Gasoline does not spontaneously combust... it requires heat and oxygen in the right proportions. Not only that, but gasoline needs to be a vapor to ignite. Granted, under the right circumstances, liquid gasoline quickly vaporizes. Now, its my understanding that mixing Kerosene and Gasoline in the right mixture will create a mix that will spontaneously ignite if exposed to air... but I've never tried. Gasoline in a tank is relatively safe, considering its energy density (47 megajoules/kg). Li Ion is 720 kilojoules/kg... about 1.5%. Even wood, at 16.2 megajoules/kg is considerably higher than Li-Ion, If you have a crash with wood, it does not spontaneously combust either. Ignoring oxygen, which is present everywhere, the Li Ion battery created it own heat, unlike gasoline or wood. No need to be pedantic, you know what I meant.

See this is why those of us who aren't retards can't stand the GOP. They make something out of nothing and are using it to distract people from far bigger issues they should be working on instead. On top of that they're hypocrites. I thought the GOP was all about government not meddling in the private sector, what a load of $h!.

It's not a death trap, the ForeTwo is actually a very safe appliance.

That's what I did and that got me all of "sucks to be you" from the police.

Yes...what the guy w/ the beard did was clearly wrong, but the Mitsu kid's reaction was so absurdly over the top... Exactly. You do not mess with a man's car. You can be damn sure if I caught someone vandalizing or breaking into my car they'd get their asses handed to them. That asshole who ran into our cars one night in a stolen car is so lucky I didn't catch him.

Apparently Nissan's latest generation CVTs are supposed to be quite good. The only CVT I've driven is on in a Caliber, which needless to say did not leave a positive impression.

Meanwhile over at Honda.

He got what he deserved.

I want to say jeers and its not worth 6k but damn if that's not a very clean car.

Personally I blame NHTSA for not having the foresight to discharge the battery after crash the test. Batteries, especially lithium batteries, can catch fire due to heat and impact shocks. This is nothing new.
