And let's not forget only reason ford beat Ferrari in lemans in the 60s is with British help all ford did was supply the finances and and the engines, plus they had some talented drivers, every time this topic comes up nobody gives the drivers any credit you can have all the power in the world don't mean **** if don't have driver who can control it.

Quote where I said it was "so great". I said it has worked and still works for Ford, and thats what the general group of Mustang owners/ drivers wanted, which is why Ford went with it. If it aint broke dont fix it. And as far as the group of car makers you named goes, they are all higher end luxury cars. An IRS is quite essential to a smooth ride in a sporty car, which is exactly what those owners want.
When a car manufacturer asks its "life time buyers" what they want, and they get the answer, why would they ignore it?
