 Lexus - Dangerous? Or just media Toyota bashing? - Statistical Outlier
On the BBC news today: news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8618585.stm

It seems that a road-based Lexus SUV has dangerous handling when pushed to the limit.

I'm surprised this is news, I thought one of the fundamental design aspects of an off-road capable vehicle was a higher centre of gravity because of the increased ground clearance? Maybe I'm missing something, could this just be part of the general bashing of Toyota?

Saying that, I'm delighted if anything stops people buying these unnecessarily dangerous vehicles when they don't need them, but that line has been done to death many times before.
