The SUV Issue

[GLewis4457@domain.elided]

Just now finished watching a documentary on the PBS investigative reports 
program FRONTLINE titled "Roll Over; The Hidden Secret of the SUV".  Anyone 
considering purchasing one of these vehicles should be required to view this 
program.  Anyone who continues with the purchase is clearly certifiable.  The 
program clearly defines the history of the SUV (beginning with the Bronco II) 
 and its inherent roll over instabillity.  It also clearly shows that federal 
auto safety regulators (NHTSA) were well aware of the problem and made 
recommendations for improvement that were quashed by both the Reagan and Bush 
the elder administrations for political expediency.   Increased fuel economy 
(CAFE) suffered the same fate.  If this program shows on your local PBS 
station it would be well worth your time to view it.
