There's quite a few interesting points in that story NSAP! How far does flexride go as far as intervention? Variable resistance rollbars are supposedly en vogue as an addition to the electro magnetic suspension (as seen in the Corvette and HSV stables) <--Is that suspension used in other Caddies? Anyone?

I also like the sound of a DI 3.0. Whilst it will no doubt require some serious throttle action to get it going in larger vehicles, it should yield some good economy gains in city driving. Sounds like a future sure thing for Alpha too.
