Yes I do agree that a badly setup independent does no better or is even worse than a beam axle. However the problem with the Indica is not one of high unsprung mass but a large spring rating. If you have 3 people in the back, the balance and grip of the car changes totally. The single rate spring used there is a compromise for cost purposes. A progressive at the back would do wonders for the Indica's ride.
