<VV> <Aarrgghh!!> Autoweek ~ "ill-handling Corvair" - Really ?

[Joel McGregor]

99% of people that drive cars wouldn't know an ill handling car from a great handling car.  I'll bet that a high percentage don't even know what handling means.  Maybe if people think Corvairs are dangerous they will stay out of my way!

People just assume that since there was a book written about the "ill-handling Corvair" that there was in fact something wrong with it.  The  person who wrote the article probably never saw or at least drove a Corvair in  his life and he probably knows nothing about it.  He just assumed that  since an ambulance chaser wrote a book about it how bad it is then it must be  true.
 
Like it or not the Corvair has a deserved or undeserved bad name.  The debate will not end here and will probably never end.  I've found that  Corvair aficionados  defend the Corvair (because they are knowledgeable about it) while people who  are ignorant of it assume that it is a bad car.
