how well
the late Vair actually handled. I've heard some people remark that
the '65-67 Corvairs were arguably the best handling cars you could
buy in the USA at the time <unsnip>
The above are practically quotes from "Unsafe at any speed" Yes, it's true!
- How many of us have actually read the book? Nader questioned why GM would
go so far with their cheapest economy car and suggested that this radical
improvement was necessary as a countermeasure to the occasional bad habits of the
heavy rear-engine swing axle layout of the earlier models. While his
observations were thoughtful, he conveniently neglected to notice Chevrolets
repositioning of the car from "economy car" to "sporty car".
