I don't think such cost/benefit analysis is unique to Ford or even American manufacturers. Most companies try to be smart this way since many product compromises are known before production. Ford just got bit that time.

Back it up with some numbers, or stop making shit up.

Since this statement was made in 93. Prove that ONLY the ford explorer had problems with roll overs at that time.

Don't forget all SUV's that were made around that time. Such as the 4Runner, Montero, blazer, tahoe, suburban, etc.

Also prove that current modern SUV's don't have the same roll over problem.

You should start walking your talk.

Rollovers are just God's way of saying "don't buy an SUV".

no_really

when someone makes a blanket statement with absolutely no proof, it is more than fair to ask them to back it up. Especially when there is ample evidence to the contrary.

Hmm who am I going to believe, an opinionated and biased article, or the standard government crash tests?

What do we see from this data? No correlation to back up the earlier stated claim.

In your words, "go away" -- and take your usual biased bullshit with you please.
