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

 I think the whole hullabaloo had to do with two things:
1. Nader was using this car to further his career. 
2. Corvairs were somewhat less forgiving of idiots, hence my soggy rear tire comment.

Steven,
 
The irony is that the EM Corvair would, repeat, would autocorrect if you tried this test as was subsequently proven.  Same for the LM.  (Assuming of course that the car was properly aligned).
 
Bob

the driver would drive the 
car down a straight road, take his hands off the wheel and, with one 
hand or the other, give the wheel a sharp tug. CR wanted the car to 
"auto correct" and resume driving in a straight line with no further 
driver intervention.
