airdvr 210 #1 April 15, 2010 Toyota testing all SUVs for rollover risk http://www.cnn.com/2010/BUSINESS/04/14/toyota.suspension/index.html?hpt=T2 QuoteConsumer Reports magazine warned readers on Tuesday not to buy the sport-utility vehicle because it could turn over in hard turns. Shortly after the magazine issued its warning, Toyota announced it was suspending sales of the luxury vehicle in the United States and Canada. Rollover risk? C'mon. Most every SUV out there is at risk to rollover given the right inputs. Seems to me this is just kicking them while they're down.Please don't dent the planet.

I would like to see if Toyota can recreate their testing scenario. I do believe that all passenger SUVs sold on the market today are required to have stability control and traction control. Now if Consumer Reports is saying they can beat the system, then yes, I think it is in their best interests to share that data with Toyota so they recreate, look at the telemetry and reprogram as needed.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
