One of the two greatest questions anyone will ask (or rather just assume) about the smart fortwo is, "Is it safe?"

Statistics show that when Americans are looking for a midsize family car, they usually end up with a Toyota Camry. In beige white. In the case of hybrids, the same rules apply to the Prius V, which came out as a completely new model this year. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety now says you might want to think…

With Halloween on the way, let's entertain a morbid thought. What does your car, the one you drive every day, look like in a crash?

The Ford Fiesta sedan/hatchback is the first minicar to earn the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) Top Safety Pick award since the IIHS added a roof strength requirement for rollover protection.
