Demonstrably false.  Early-Eighties FWD Audis tuck the
nose in and tighten the line when you stand on the gas
in a high-speed corner.  I'll take you for a ride the
next time I drive the CGT to the Bay Area.  It's
enlightening, and always serves to remind me that
maybe, just maybe, professional engineers know more
about designing cars than the average car-guy yahoo,
no matter how many issues of "Sport Compact Car" are
sitting on the back of his toilet.
