    I have always been preaching that stability control should be standard in every automobile. It's sorta like that in Europe. Just because you're NOT in the snowbelt means you can do without it. I won't buy a car without it.

    Have a look at this interesting article:

    'Course, there are plenty of articles pointing at the SUVs rolling over because of their inherent high center of gravity and lack of 'skill' in driving such a machine. Why do these vehicles exist? What did we do (not that long ago) without them? Hmmmm, makes one think...I hope anyway... Love my Prius!
