@TotalEklypse: If I were you I would give Trackmania Nations Forever a shot (the free one on Steam) as that should give you a good idea of how they all play. As far as I am aware none of the Trackmania games include crashes with other cars, the only thing you can collide with are the walls (and when that happens on Trackmania 2 you see some visible car damage).
@TotalEklypse: Can't psuh other players off i'm afraid. Also I cant seem to find a Trackmania 2 page on steam, are you perhaps looking at "United Forever"? as that is a different older game. as far as i'm aware there is nothing on Steam for this game at this time and it can only be purchased through the trackmania website.
@TotalEklypse: It does not work on Steam at this time, and from this thread on NeoGaf http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=440418 it does not seem like it will be in the immediate future, however the developers seems to want to ensure that anyone that buys it now will also get a Steam copy when and if it appears on there (so they don't have to buy it twice). Not sure that this would actually happen though.
As for the crashes I can't really say as I am busy downloading it now and haven't played it yet, however if it is anything like the others (which I believe it is). You can't crash into other cars as they are ghosts, it's more about a time trial type race on crazy tracks more than anything else.
@css_switchfoot: Good news, you don't have to wait, can buy it and play it now (just the multiplayer beta but that's the best part).
If you go to the Trackmania website you can click to pre-purchase and you well get automatic access to start playing the multiplayer beta as soon as your download and install is complete.
Heh, I also began watching the youtube videos from huskystarcraft etc. a while before the game came out.
However I was not unhappy with it after playing it, I love it. Each to their own though I can see your point of view, just sorry to hear you couldn't get into this great game.
