IIRC The smart car beats the Hummer in crash test ratings....

Yes but this car is not a Smart, so they may not enjoy the same accident survivability rates, specially given the price point, I'd want to see sanctioned crash test results before accepting they are equivalent to Smarts when it comes to occupant protection in collisions.

I'm skeptical that, in a head on collision between the two, the smart car is a safer place to be.
