You won't find double a-arm suspension on any other front drive car that I can think of. OK, the prototype ford focus has them but it's not a production car. You can't fit the engine in sideways without switching to the inferior strut setup, as saab did with newer models. Another possiblility I thought of is with the engine in the center the driveshafts are almost the same length. I believe that helps with torque steer. I don't know the real reason.
