Isuzu is suing _Consumer Reports_ alleging that the magazine was unfair when it said the Isuzu Trooper was prone to rollover. Well, DUH! SUVs (or Sport Futility Vehicles, as I like to call them) were designed to go off-road and have a high stance to deal with rocks and such. This means that the CG is higher and they are more prone to rollover than your typical Ferarri. It’s a driver’s responsibility to know the limits of his vehicle’s performance envelope. And yes, I drive a “sport-_fute_”. Just some Mundane Pointless Stuff I Wanted to Share. ---

I’m not sure which magazine it was, but they tested a corvette against some SUV (I think it was either a Tahoe or Explorer) and the corvette lost out on the rollover thing. I saw the article. Seems like it was Car And Driver. I could be wrong. Funny, tho, seeing that corvette like that. I didn’t read the whole article… just depositing my $.02 \ * * * “Rolling with the dopes you know.
