Article: Mazda demonstrates that small lightweight cars be safe too
When Mazda redesigned its stylish new B segment car, they made it over 200 lbs lighter than its predecessor. According to ABG, they've just voluntarily subjected it to European crash testing, and it came out 5 stars for adults, and 4 stars for child protection

Small cars are unsafe! (Right?) Why Mazda doesn't bring this vehicle to North America is a mystery. They currently have no competitor for the brisk-selling Toyota Yaris or Honda Fit. http://nouvelles.autonet.ca/FR/Salon...0/DSCN1777.JPG |
Ah - just double checked, and a version of this car may in fact be headed this way - as a Ford.
