Something occurred to me while I was in the shower. The whole cost-of-lives fracas. Wasn't that the big uproar in the early 70s surrounding the Corvair, another GM product? Wasn't Ralph Nader in the center of that? Btm line to me is that since then everybody KNEW the car cos did this sort of number work - and they stopped when a jury punished GM for costing car safety. So it seems to me that whoever is the plaintiff in this latest car case KNEW this (the design weakness of the what, Chev Malibu?) for years - and did not see fit to disclose the case until they had a juicy event like this one. Cuz now there's money to be made in court. The car cos aren't the only ones doing a cost analysis here. On that basis alone I hope that the plaintiffs 1) lose and 2) are held liable for the entire cost of the suit.
