Still not unsafe at any speed though. Mine would not go fast enough to be unsafe. So I viewed the scathe as overstatement. Never read the book. GM needed a trim badly, which Nader provided.
Personal attacks are always and everywhere asinine.
The Suzuki Samurai suffered a similar scathe a few years back. Cute little car. I was in the market for one at the right price, but it never dropped low enough. It also had a roll bar. I make misteaks relying on memory.
