smart fortwo crash test ratings just in

SmartcrashtestgrabGood news from smart!  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently released results from the smart fortwo front and side impact crash tests (you can view current crash test results by clicking here and entering the year, make and model that you are interested in).  smart says that the results were right in line with their high expectations but also that they are continuing to strive for ways to make the smart fortwo even more safe.  If you can't grasp how the tiny car got such high ratings, stop by smart center Virginia Beach at 5193 Virginia Beach Blvd. and check out the tridion safety cell that's on display.  It's a steel "cage",  similar to those used in race cars, that helps protect the vehicle's occupants.  The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety will be conducting tests as well and their results are expected to come later this month.  We'll keep you posted!
