I think  the Corvair was run off the road by GM'S own cars.


Maybe, but none of those V8s could follow it through a corner or pass a gas 
 station.  I stayed a GM person in the 60s, 70s, and 80s because of my  
Corvairs.  Probably the only reason I bought GM cars later.  BMWs,  Alfas and 
Fiats cost too much to fix, rusted out and broke down.  But my  Corvairs were 
cheap to operate, dependable and embarrassed the boy racers on an  almost 
daily basis.  All the points that have been made are correct for the  North 
American market, but 1.8 million Corvairs went to people who appreciated  
(heck, loved) their virtues.
