The DT7 NEEDS a suspension that will do the Cadillac name justice, and something like this "Pre-Scan" is exactly the type of thing that will sell DT7s and keep the saying "rides like a Cadillac" alive and well.
Well, Cadillac's Magnetic Ride Control already does most of this and has been available or standard on XLR, SRX, and STS for a few years now. The main difference is it's based on input from the suspension and steering itself instead of "pre scanning" -- so you feel the first of a series of bumps, but not the later ones. I would think GM/Delphi could add "pre scanners" to MRC as well, unless there are patent issues.
