If allowed, I would like to make some feedback on the Wiki text. Reference to other cars is a bit bleak, in my spec sheet the Volvo 960 always used coils, the Fiat 128 dates from 1969. Its underpinnings may have been produced a long time as a Yugo, but AFAIK this might be the last case. (I don't know what GM W-Platform stands for). On the other hand you could add the Volvo 340, which used a variomatic driven Dion rear axle, suspended by two longitudinal leaf springs.
Of course (transverse) leaf springs have been used abundantly in the past, but have now been superseded. To avoid further discussion you may want to delete the section on perception/push rod engines....(I don't think we need discussions like: The world is wrong and Corvette is right on Wiki).
