Anyone else notice that the 2009 Dodge Ram has coil spring suspension?

Blah Blah...Remember the late 60's, early 70's gm pick ups, they had coil springs, so big deal, all this will do is give a better riding suspension to home depot.
As a ex Ford owner, the inboard shocks on the 04 F-150 did not impress me, Most likely Hancook tires will make a return to Ford trucks, I do like the new 09 F-150 and the 09 Ram that looks like a dakota, dosent impress me at all.
Leaf springs are not designed For sports cars, but for carying whieght, all the links on the rear suspension of the new Ram are going to wear out quicker when you do throw a 500 Lbs in the box
