I still don't understand why we have the builders worrying about making the drivers better drivers 
Maybe we should fix the real problem of crappy ass drivers instead

On dozens of other S.U.V.’s tested by the magazine, the electronic stability control system of the vehicles detected and quickly stopped the slide. But the stability control did not stop the GX 460 until it was almost sideways, Mr. Champion said.

How many S2000 have been wrecked this way? It's real world and I have seen it many times right in front of me on group drives.

Oh when Fords start rolling over, it's their fault. When Lexuses roll over, it's the customer's fault.
Waiting for TRDSilver's comments.

This is clearly a marketing problem and not a safety problem. They just need to market this bad boy as the only SUV that can drift.
Oh, your mom died when she rolled her GX 460? Well, she shouldn't have bought a sports car if she couldn't handle it.
