That's funny, I thought it was the early models that were supposed to be twitchy and unpredictable.

Actually there not its the driver that fails in those situations
But if you should happen to LIFT while cornering, the rear end goes up and the outside rear toes OUT, giving a double-dose of increased OVERsteer (dose one from unloading the rear tires, dose two from the outside rear toeing OUTward).
So, when the uninitiated driver starts to feel the back end get a little squirrelly and gets off the gas, the car really really REALLY wants to come around, and often does.
So, yeah, driver failure, but the stupid and unnecessary designed-in rear toe shenanigans make the car particularly hairy for drivers who do not have experience driving at the limits of adhesion.
