If they didn't find fault with VW bugs, how could they with Corvairs? Same swing axle design. Same basic design in 356s too, but their geometry (roll center, CG, etc.) was different. The problem was that Chevy marketed the car as "sporty", and owners perceived that as "sports car" which it wasn't in stock form.
