Paging PacerX...or other knowledgeable folks (Solstice chassis questions)

Few questions developing on the Solstice suspension on the "Bengal/Sky cancelled" thread:

PacerX, What type of IRS does Solstice have? Is it possibly a tri-link design?

I remember PacerX mentioning some engineering drawings of an IRS. But as far as I've heard Tubular's front suspension would be lifted off of Delta.

Do we know anything about Tubular's front suspension??

Pardon me if I'm behind the times, but wasn't the Aztek IRS targeted for this application?

When Pontiac was 1st figuring out how to make the car. Now, it seems it's morphed into a low cost high performance chassis, that's apparently going to have an assortment of parts, new & off the shelf.

K, sorry it took so long...

Looks like a lower A arm, with a trailing arm, and coilover shocks. There's (obviously) sway bar there too.

The half-shaft setup looks similar to a C3 Corvette, but the trailing arm doesn't look as big.

It's NOT a Delta.
