Double-wishbones up front would ruin the handling characteristics of this car. The engine would have to be raised and/or pushed forward to make clearance for the suspension. This would shift the polar moment forward and/or raise the otherwise stellar CoG.
To fix that, we could mount the engine in the trunk/rear seats. Then it'd be a completely different car (looks/price/etc.).
They engineered the suspension to strengthen this car's key attribute - low CoG (thanks to the boxer engine). They did it right IMO.
