Nah, those were pretty hideous.

What a stupid show. 
35 years of Samurai ownership, and I still have my very first one. :)

The funny thing nobody cares to realize about the whole Consumer Report debacle is that after the lawsuit got filed and the real info started to surface, it turned out that CR actually had to drastically increase the speed that they drove the Sammy through the avoidance test in order to get it to lift a wheel. It actually resisted lifting its wheel better the the Ford Explorer did. And many of the test drivers actually said that after the wheel lifted and they corrected, the Samurai regained directional stability far quicker then many of the other test vehicles.

Gotta love it when sensationalism replaces reality and common sense...
