2009 and manufacturers are still using leaf springs and live axles?
Yep. Because they're inexpensive and work well. And don't bother with the "performance" advantage of an IRS. On a road course, a solid rear works just as well as an IRS. On the drag strip, a solid rear is better. It's only for street toodlin' that an IRS has an advantage. An advantage of comfort.
