If the car is so safe then why isn't Smart making any statements to refute the IIHS statement?

Why would they refute it? And, just because they don't doesn't mean that it isn't safe. It's as safe as a car that size can be. That's it. No one claimed it'd wipe out an Excursion, what are you looking for? Why does this car incense people so much? You don't like, then don't buy one. There's that hypocrisy again; don't diss the choice of owning an SUV cuz it ain't your money, but damn anything small and fuel efficient as a deathtrap cuz that's okay. Freud would have a field day on this site.
