For such a magnificent sports car, it seems GM is shorting us by not using something more advanced than struts for the front suspension... shouldn't they be using unequal A-arms for better ride/handling balance? The rear suspension will be a 4.5 link setup (should be 5 link really) which is better, but still not great... I just wonder how much handling GM is willing to give up for cost.?
