The big advantage of the old VW design, is that all the suspension members are outside of the footwell area, allowing a more forward seating position. No other suspension type can do that except maybe a Model T's leading arm straight axle, or a Ford Twin I-Beam off an old truck. There is a Reason Ford does not use it anymore, crude, heavy, and the geometry is all wrong.
