As well, the sonic boom from that collision would 'Echo' for 'Inifinity' and could probably be heard in Lake 'Tahoe', and as far west as the 'Sierra's. Of course, if all the engineers weren't on an 'Expedition' in the 'Yukon' hunting for 'Ram's, they would have figured this out by now.
: I might dispute the fact that any Mercury could reach such speeds, however a collision between a Mercury and a Saturn would be an Astro-nomic event. Totally cubular.
: If your Saturn Ion collided with my K2500, the resulting Ionic bond would be at the Sub-atomic level, and it would take a Toyota to Prius apart.

: : I used to build test fixtures for ion engines at NASA, but never thought I'd see an ion engine in a car. We would eject mercury at close to the speed of light. Saturn Ion appears to have a cleaner powerplant.
: : I'm worried that a collision between a Honda Element and an Ion will create some kind of chain reaction. If the crash debris weighs less than the two intact vehicles, a tremendous amount of energy will be released.
: : Testing of this type has been banned, since there is no bikini atoll; normally a good thing.
: : It was disappointing to find out that putting a snowplow on an Avalanche did not result in perpetual motion, one of my other theories.
