In the absence of those there aren't all that many models of cars
that can be flipped on a flat parking lot. That was one of Nader's
original complaints about the Corvair

pppplease everyone note: That was true for pre 63, only.

The 63 and 64 Corvairs were the primary subject of Nader's _Unsafe At Any
Speed_. The 65 Corvairs added a stabilizer to the suspension. And the
primary complaint about the original suspension was not that it caused the
cars to flip, but that it tended to cause the outside wheel to tuck under
during sharp cornering, leading to a sudden breakaway skid with no warning
creep. It could also lead to a rollover if something as minor as a pothole
tripped that wheel as it entered such a skid, but that wasn't the primary
failure mode.

_Consumers' Reports_ once rated a small Suzuki SUV Not Acceptable because of
its tendency to tip, which they speculated could lead to rollover accidents.
It's the rarity of that phenomenon that made it newsworthy. Virtually all
real-world rollover accidents involve the wheels being tripped by a curb or
other obstruction.
