    This all sounds amazing… Except having no rear. I was rear ended by a drunk driver and was able to walk away (relatively) unharmed because my trunk was a massive crumple zone able to soak up all the energy.

      They surprisingly have high safety ratings. There is a trunk, it even opens like a standard truck, it’s just not very big. The frame doesn’t get crushed, but the car is very light and I’m sure the force of an impact can still cause a lot of damage, or of course the car is more easily pushed into places it shouldn’t go in a crash because it’s so light.
