@p51 posted:Nah, the issue with that was, they didn't roll any more than a Jeep would, but they marketed them as a 'sports vehicle' to younger people who didn't realize it had a high center of gravity. A guy I later met who worked at a dealer which sold them said that most rollovers were from 20-something college girls who got one because it looked cool and treated it like a lower-slung car.
Anyone familiar with vehicles of that type (which I very much was) would never come close to rolling one.
Lee I was just kidding, I figured anyone that had ever driven any jeep CJ and older would realize the Samurai had a high COG. Marketing is where the problem was. Just like the old 3 wheeled ATVs. People watched the commercials of professional riders doin incredible things and bought them and let little Johnny have at it until he rolled it over on himself and broke some bones. Bye bye 3 wheelers.
