The key point is that the Lexus is more likely to roll over than comparable vehicles - not that high COG vehicles are more likely to roll over (which they are).

My key point is that these high COG truck-based vehicles are more likely to roll over. If that's a problem for you, don't buy one. Who cares if one is worse than the others? It don't make the other vehicles any safer.

Apparently you're unconcerned or ignorant of the fact that you're twice as likely to have a fatal rollover accident in an SUV than a car. What's your point? That you're safer driving an Escalade? That's real logical.
One has to learn to drive the vehicle they have, in a safe manner. If that means going around the corner at 5 mph...that's the way it is. Same as driving a truck loaded with cargo that can possibly shift. It is not possible to "idiot proof" vehicles.
They sure do! I'll see your 5 and lower it down to 3 MPH. I'll drive around a corner slower than anybody in the room. I dare you to drive slower than me. :-)
I can drive one of these SUVs in a safe manner anyday. The one part I haven't figured out is what to do if I have to do a high speed evasive maneuver. Wish I was in a different vehicle would be my best guess. :-)
I don't have any problem with SUVs, they are what they is. However, the Lexus GX460 tendency for rollovers does not make the other SUVs more resistant to the same behavior.
