Car springs a leak?

Lots of talk about the tube losing it's vacuum, but what if the car springs a leak and exposes all the passengers to hard vacuum?

On an aircraft the pressure differential is much lower, so oxygen masks are all that is required, plus the pilot will lower altitude within a few minutes.

Would the passengers be required to wear astronaut style pressure suits?
