Huh??? I have first hand expereince with both. Now while I agree the 80/90
series cars are wallowing pigs when it comes to body roll (my #1 complaint
going from a 4kq to an 80q), I have never felt that way about a sound
condition 5kq (I have no basis of experience on fwd 5k's) so I would be very
hesitant to lump these do vastly different handling models together in this
blanket statement. Looks aside, you might want to spen a bit-o-time behind
the wheel of a 5ktq or 200q and you will find this to be true.

87 5kcstq 
(even with worn out front struts has far less body roll than my then-new 80q
did!)
