Small versus large: C-Class versus Smart, Camry versus Yaris

A few weeks back we brought you a crash test between a 1959 Chevy Bel Air and a 2009 Chevy Malibu. Now, for a series of crash tests between two cars of the same era, but of vastly different sizes.

Reviews

  • Gran Turismo 5

    We know now that it's scheduled for release in Japan in March 2010, so we headed down to creator Kazunori Yamauchi's offices to have a chat about what we can expect from his new baby.

  • Jaguar XJ (2010)

    Jaguar's XJ is no longer a shrinking violet dressed in mummy's '60s duds. The tech quotient is high and the styling turned up to 11. We showed up at its San Fran launch party, and got up close and personal with the sexy feline.

  • Lexus IS250 Sports Luxury (2009)

    What the IS250 lacks in badge snobbery, it makes up for in good looks, rock-solid quality, neat handling and serenity enough to becalm a frazzled monk. While stuffed with tech, it isn't quite as up-to-date as we'd have liked.

  • BMW Z4 sDrive35i (2009)

    For the second-gen Z4, BMW has given it slightly smoother lines and a schmick-looking new folding hard-top. It also comes with a redesigned and much friendlier iDrive system for mixing your music and guiding your sat nav.

  • Navigon 2150max

    This is a great GPS if you have a piano black fetish. For the rest of us, it's just OK. Its good points (Aussie-capable text-to-speech, junction view, extended lane info) are balanced out by an inconsistent interface and unfriendly windshield mount.

  • Smart ForTwo cabrio (2008)

    Its two-seat configuration limits its appeal to just a few. That's a shame because Australia's cheapest convertible is loveable, unique and deserving of a wider audience.

  • Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

    Gran Turismo 5 Prologue may be only a practice lap for the real thing, but it's a beautiful joyride while it lasts.

  • Smart ForTwo coupe (2008)

    We've taken the second-gen Smart fortwo for a quick spin and, although the diminutive city runabout has grown up, expanding in all directions, it's surprisingly peppy around town.

  • New Mercedes S-Class hybrid plugs into the grid

    With the S400 Hybrid due in European showrooms very shortly, Mercedes-Benz is set to trot out its new Vision S500 Plug-in Hybrid at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show.

  • Three-seat Smart coming soon?

    Recent patent filings by Mercedes-Benz indicate that a three-seater Smart may be in the works.

  • UK to plug in world's largest electric car trial

    The UK is to host the world's largest trial of electric vehicles, putting the kind of hi-tech eco-friendly cars you'd normally only see from afar onto the streets of the old country.

  • Mercedes-Benz F-Cell caught in the wild

    While CNET Car Tech in the US was out testing the Aston Martin DB9 Volante in the Santa Cruz mountains recently, we ran across the car's antithesis, a Mercedes-Benz F-Cell research car. We easily caught up with the F-Cell and followed it to a scenic lookout, where we cornered its driver and started grilling him about the car.
