<VV> Modern Corvair

[Charles Lee]

Maybe if the Chevy "Volt" was rear-engined with advanced suspension and low
center of gravity, plus the styling of the Corvair, now THAT would be a
winner !

However, I think GM proved they are NOT up to the challenge of a "new
Corvair" as advanced as the Corvair was then, by the actions they took then.

Unfortunately, the Corvair, as great a car as it was (and is), still has a
stigma as a result of GM's inability to take a stance against Nadir (sic), 
as VW
did when Nadir went after them !

Still it would be a cool idea to have a contest of some kind, to see what
the Corvair might have been ?
