If I were designing a new car, I would most certainly look at torsion bars, and also flexures. Yes, packaging could be a hassle, especially in the lengths we would need to get long-lived bars (the F1 bars are good for a race, and then they are totally shot), and the extra expense may not be percieved by some as worth it, but if you truely wanted a car with as few compromises as possible, they are the way to go.
