But unlike idle athletes, the G20 hasn't gone flabby during its long vacation. Although slow sales led to its disappearance from the U.S. market, this same chassis has been under continuous development in Europe and Japan, where it's known as the Primera sedan. The result of that development, which includes a vigorous racing program, is a chassis that's stiffer than its exemplary predecessor, with gratifyingly quick reflexes. The wheelbase is 2 inches longer, and the body has been stretched by 3 inches. Easy handling In any case, the new car answers its helm with real alacrity.
Body roll is minimal in brisk cornering.
A limited-slip differential provides uniform power delivery. A word on differentials. A differential is a mechanical device that compensates for the differing rotational speeds of the drive wheels when the vehicle is going around a turn. I find this mildly mystifying, particularly in view of the G20's comeback quest. But that's not the case.
