Probably a gimmick. I don't know anything about the technoligy but it looks interesting.

I know for a fact that it's not a gimmick. It's probably encountering business hurdles at the moment. The technology is expensive and because linear motors replace dampers and springs, the power requirements are quite high. However, it's one of the very few fully active suspension designs. Most existing "active" suspensions are really not fully active because they usually vary the damping.

If this hits market, my guess is that it will be untouchable in terms of performance. Imagine leaning into a turn instead of leaning out. Imagine a car hunkering down to accelerate or lean back to brake or completely isolating a bump in the road to one wheel. It's a freaky visual but it makes complete logical sense in terms of optimal weight distribution for maximum performance.

Whoa! I wonder if this Bose suspension will be as crappy as the Bose System... This is like the new Speedracer's Mark V!!!
