They continued to develop M.R. after bankruptcy, the first car with 3rd gen MagnaRide was the ZL1 in 2012 and on many other vehicles now. M.R. is a GM technology, it's silly to say that you can be owned by GM, funded by GM, suspension Engineers of GM, get sold off and say it never was a GM technology. It means now GM M.R. tech is spreading to other car companies since there independent now.
Edit: They were apart of GM's Global suspension and Brakes business.

The third generation of MR was developed under BWI and was first used in 2011 by the Range Rover Evoque. Since then it has had nothing to do with GM development wise. I'm not saying it wasn't developed by GM at all, as i'm sure a lot of other people are, but the fact remains it is now no longer a GM product. So to claim that these new models, like the GT350, are using GM suspension is incorrect.
