Thomas, was your test car 3.3ldiesel RWD or AWD? If it was RWD, they eliminated rear stabilizer and used rubber bushing instead of teflon inserted pillow ball at the end of hub side of multi link suspension. arms. Other AWD version are using the teflon inserted pillow ball. Many people complained the stiffness of the rear suspension at the first impression but after the breaking in I hope the suspension will impress you as well as German competitors.
