    Default Rear suspension myth?

    Saw this on Carsfromitaly.com and just wondered where on earth they got the idea that the Q4 had a MacPherson setup at the rear?

    Well, both 155 GTA and 155 V6 ti both had 164 Q4 rear suspension, i.e. McPherson, double lateral links and a single longitudinal link. The GTA had, except for the rear suspension the same layout as the Q4, so maybe that is where they got it from?

    By the way, what happend to the carsfromitaly.com site?
