I think the double a-arms are simpler. But this one is a larger platform that's shared across a few models. If you're arguing that this is a waste of time considering the Solstice is better, I dunno about that. But I think their reasoning is a slightly larger coupe that'll fit a small block under the hood with no problem. I know the Solstice and Skye have had V8s stuffed in them, but this chassis was designed for it.

How do you figure that it's based off the Vette suspension? The Vette uses transverse leaf springs which are nothing like a Macpherson strut/multi-link setup. Zeta is new to GM and the only car available here right now that uses the same setup is the G8. I'm sure you knew that, but I don't see how you got the Vette connection.
