Hardly anyone outside of these forums would know any better one way or the other, though. So...unless a competitor exploits its "archaic" character in advertising...sales wouldn't be effected one way or the other.

I agree, but just because a car has an IRS, what kind of ride quality it delivers is dependent on things such as bushing type used, springs rates, shock specs, etc. I submit that the ride quality between the 2011 Mustang and the 2011 Camaro is not something the average person is going to feel with their seat-o-the-pants meter.
Even if the competiton touts one as better than the other, unless the buyer is able to discern the difference for themselves, it's not likely to affect their buying decision. At least not your average buyer.
