Double wishbone provides the potential for superior geometry control, particularly camber. Also MacStruts have more sliding friction.

But as in most things, the application is more important than the base tech.

The Hyundai GenCoupe has a more complex front strut design with virtual steer centers (à la BMW) through two lower links, and more links in the rear multi link suspension. But they didn't execute it anywhere close to the 86.
