From Car & Driver's write up of the '05 Mustang:
"Although the other DEW vehicles have all-independent suspensions, the
2005 Mustang goes without. That's mainly to keep down costs, says Thai-Tang. It's also partly because the majority of Mustang owners don't know or care what kind of rear suspension they have, he says, and partly to serve street racers and quarter-milers who love a live axle's simplicity and cheap interchangeability."Detroit will never learn, will it? Go cheap, hold your customers in contempt, make the quick buck, lose the market.
