Does anyone know of a site/image having good info on the control blade type of suspension (ford territory/focus vehicles)?

I gather it also the new VW/Audi small car rear suspension, partly because they want Golf to regain its handling reputation.
To my mind it combines the many engineering benefits of a Chapman strut with the marketing and package advantages of an IRS.

Any chance of this going on any utility / SU- vehicle in near future?

The toe characteristics are not significantly controlled by the trailing arm (grin). Why do you think the blade is tall and thin?
The Ford Territory is an SUV (closest in the states is a BMW X5, albeit we have a better front suspension, 200kg lighter, and a seven seater)

It has a long rear lateral arm, which controls toe, a pair of shorter front lateral arms, vertically above each other, which control the camber, and the control blade, which reacts brake and traction loads.
