No, the platform is not Volvo-- the point was that Volvo engineers designed the crumple zones and passenger cage. Not to say that it wasn't in-house since you obviously know Ford owns Volvo.
Good point about the 3 link-- not even the upcoming cobra will get independent rear suspension, correct?
The CTS-V outperforms the Mustang and costs more... yes. Just remarking that the CTS-V is a formidable sports car and not something I would expect from Cadillac.

Ok I must have misunderstood what you meant about the Volvo thing sorry.
And the Cobra when released like will be getting the IRS as they designed the platform to readily accept live axle or IRS with no change needed in the switch over. The GT was SUPPOSED to get the IRS set up but it was likely going to cost a little too much so they went with the live axle. And personally I'm definately ok with that. For my type of driving and where I live I don't need an IRS and it would likely get yanked for a 9 inch Ford rear end anyway.
