I had a jeep Cherokee last week as our Audi a4 avant was in the shop.
One of the first things I noticed in the jeep is the warning about
changing lanes at speed (read roll over warning) on the sun visor.
The car felt really crappy in corners at way lower speeds than the Audi
of my Boxster does. I was really happy to get out of this 'we'll give
you a really nice rental car' and back in my non-SUV
You can sell unsafe cars in the US that roll over if you change lanes as
long as you explain it on the sun visor but you can't sell a 911 gt3 as
its bumpers are an inch too low.....
Cheers,
Marc

Subject: Jeep Cherokee Rollover
Given all of the previous discussions on vehicle dynamics in slaloms
plus discussion on rollovers on this list, I'm wondering if anyone has
written a letter to Autoweek in response to their article on the Jeep
Cherokee rollover during their testing?
It seems like this list has more expertise in physics and real world
knowledge relevant to this than any other.
