Why torsion bars?

[Aaron Kappler]

I really like the H3, but I HATE the torsion bar front suspension. I've had too many 4x4s with front torsion bars that had awful wheel travel, were very expensive to lift, and had some reliability issues (GM and Ford).

It seems most manufacturers are moving to coil overs in front IFS 4x4s, does anyone know why GM did not move this way with the H3? Does anyone know if GM is planning to move to coil overs any time soon?

I've been looking at an H3 Adventure seriously for some time, but I cannot get over the torsion bars.
