Bob's latest claim - car makers have repealed the law of conservation
of momentum.

Well, he would claim that if he knew what it actually was......... but
it's bleeding obvious that he doesn't.

They roll over like trucks. In fact, much more frequently than cars.



My Tribeca has an VG rollover rating, outhandles a Toyota Corolla of
course and doesn't just "feel" like a car, it handles better than quite
a few both in grip, handling, stopping and so on. There's no excuse for
bad handling in 4-5000 lb vehicle any more. Even my new van handles
quite well compared to the older models out there and it has the power
to get clear of trouble as well.
Or as Autobytel found in their preview test drive of the Kia..

Falling somewhere between the taut Honda Odyssey and the soft Toyota
Sienna, the 2006 Kia Sedona's suspension provides a great blend of
ride and handling, but occasionally the driver can feel a rubbery lack
of wheel control over bad pavement. It's not harsh, and it's not
loud, and it could probably be erased altogether with additional
tuning. Handling is impressive for a minivan, as we discovered during a
downhill run from the Palomar Mountain area that included multiple
25-mph hairpin turns. Pitching the Sedona into those hairpins at twice
the recommended speed resulted in plenty of body roll and tire scrub,
but in high-speed sweepers the 2006 Kia Sedona's weight transitions
predictably and the tires offer good grip.

And of course the Tribeca handles even better with it's 18" wheels and
AWD.
