Seems like the Acura ZDX commercials are marketing old technology and claiming it as innovative....

The "electromagnetic suspension" they push for in the commercial below is nothing new. My 1991 Dodge Stealth had an active suspension that worked on the exact same principle and used the exact same technology.

Not to mention the damn thing is hideous.

Yea, my 1987 Toyota Supra had the adjustable shocks as well.

That car gets a strong "meh" from me.

The Toyota system was adjustable valving, the GM one was the first to use magnetic oil.
