Q: Some OEMs are reverting to more basic suspensions for less powerful models. Was this an option forthe A-Class? A: Maybe you can think of using a torsion beam if you have high volumes. The Golf has two million cars a year behind that one model, For a premium compact car it's more difficult, You might save some money by doing both concepts but it drives complexity in the underbody, It drives complexity in your parts. Even for our entry vehicles we have the requirement to be best in class in all criteria, so we didn't think of having twist-beam.
