Small Cars (Like Obama Wants You to Drive) Do Poorly in Crash Tests

Maybe the real agenda is to reduce global warming by reducing the number of Americans:

WASHINGTON — Micro cars can give motorists top-notch fuel efficiency at a competitive price, but the insurance industry says they do not fare well in collisions with larger vehicles.

In crash tests released Tuesday, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that drivers of 2009 versions of the Smart "fortwo," Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris could face significant leg and head injuries in severe front-end crashes with larger, mid-size vehicles.

"There are good reasons people buy mini cars. They're more affordable, and they use less gas. But the safety trade-offs are clear from our new tests," said Adrian Lund, the institute's president.

The results will be easy to predict. Those who can afford bigger cars will continue to buy them at whatever price. Poorer people and diehard libs who want to "save the planet" will buy the spam-in-a-can cars, thus resulting in fewer poor people and diehard libs.

Hmm...Obama might be onto something here.
