Not really. Watching that video it isn't even an apple to apples comparison. If you tried to fit the boxes they were putting into the hummer into the smart car, they would not have fit, regardless of how smart you think.
So yes, cute video. But otherwise worthless.
Some better comparisons would have been:
1. I saved so much money in gas with the smart car I could afford to rent a pickup truck for the day...
2. I saved so much money in gas with the smart car I could afford in home delivery...
Or what I would love to see
A comparison of crash safety between the two. Frankly the main concerns that "I" see with people is that they don't feel the tiny cars would be safe enough on the roads.

Actually the Smart Car (http://www.safercar.gov/portal/site/safercar/menuitem.94b0130be143aeb342252f0835a67789/?vgnextoid=68adf2905bf54110VgnVCM1000002fd17898RCRD) does quite well...the Hummer goes untested because it is truck...
