im sure you guys have heard and saw something on this but for anyone who hasnt..its the new bose suspension system. The "conventional car" is undoubtedly exagerrated (watch the drivers head when he goes over bumps) but it seems like some cool luxury suspensions are on the horizon.

I don't believe anything bose says. It's pretty much a given in teh home theater/audio world that their products are priced way too high, overhyped and marketed towards suburban couples who know little about audio and looking for a "name." That's what all those fancy displays are for.

I don;t believe that mess on those videos either. What is "conventional suspension?" Who knows what their definition of that is or any other modifications made to the suspension systems of those cars.

The Bose suspension system works pretty well according to the mags, but it's so heavy and complicated that there's no point in even trying to use it. It's nothing more than electronically controlled shocks, but the system is just too complicated in practice to be useful.

Their audio stuff is junk, so it wouldn't surprise me if this was just a carefully setup demonstration to make it look better than it really is.
