The Corvair was a sexy car. And, yes, I know about Unsafe at Any Speed. Like most of his stuff, it was a crock. Kinda like saying "all those prop planes are dangerous." Compared to other cars of its era, the Corvair's safety was about the norm. The "dangerous" swing axle he mentioned was used on the VW bug for decades, but somehow he never referenced it.
