You're correct on the second part. Sharper Image did lose.

Suzuki did not lose. Suzuki & CU settled out of court, with CU issuing
a partial retraction. Here's the bit from the "joint statement" issued
by CU & Suzuki that I refer to:

''CU's 1996 statement that the 1988 Samurai "easily rolls over in
turns" was limited to the severe turns in CU's short course avoidance
maneuver. CU's use of the adverb "easily" may have been misconstrued
and misunderstood. CU never intended to state or imply that the Samurai
easily rolls over in routine driving conditions.''

CU says this isn't a retracation, it's a "clarification."
