GM is probably still sorting out the litigation brought on by the terrible twins....Typhoon and Syclone. They went in a straight line just fine....the excitement started when you turned the wheel...and seemingly nothing happened. The vehicles both were tin-cans with crazy drivelines, and were marketed straight at 16 year-old males (think STI/Evo advertising) The 6000 or so vehicles built resulted in a few hundred deaths and a ton of maiming. Virtually all kids, hence the lawsuits. The GM "Deathtraps" were a story as big and as damning as the Explorer rollover episodes. A childhood friend, Jeff Day, had one for a few months when we were kids. He burried it in some trees on Marianburg rd. one nite. Mangled his little brother pretty good in the process. They were fast pieces of crap, and about as safe as a pair of rocket powered roller skates.
