Some of you may already know, but I play the piano. I really only play Chopin. (I do play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata as an exception). I really liked one of Chopin's quotes for the design of the car. Chopin use of "slur" refers to a section of music that is played very smoothly and deftly together so the notes all blend together. It is diabolically difficult to actually achieve in practice. Chopin's use of the word in English is doubly interesting.
I knew if we "slurred" over the suspension design, it would come back to haunt us.
