IOW: I don't care how fast, composed, nimble, mind- or crotch-blowing, etc. a car is if it has leaf springs, because I don't want to own a car with an inherently limited and inferior suspension design that only suits non-driven hubs and (barely) live axle applications and dates to the 19th century

I don't think leaf-springs is the same as live-axle because Corvette suspension is still classified as independent which live-axle suspension isn't.
Now that's an interesting tidbit, according to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvette_leaf_spring the best SUV currently on the market: Volvo XC90 Mk. 2 actually uses leaf-suspension.
