But really I'd like to see that test all over again but with a transport truck, mainly if it holds up well in that type of crash it would be more worth the money and waiting time to own one of thoses cars.

Yeah, when I was in Austria a few years back I saw quite a few two seater smart cars... and many other multi-purpose vehicles from the same line.

I don't think this structure of the car is good, I mean if it doesn't crumple and break how is it supposed to cushion the occupants? I'd rather have the body parts (if I was in such a bad crash) crumple to cushion me and my passengers as much as possible (within reason). This sturdyness sort of defeats the old theory of body design.
