So it's more an alternative to a rear-wheel steering, right? I know some carmakers are developping such steerings. Renault for the new Laguna has announced for 2009 I think.

Sounds interesting BTW.
Yeah it is more an alternative to rear wheel steering, but less dramatic. Car with wheels toe angle set outwards will be less stable as a toe in angle (just in general). So by adjusting the toe angle at the back end of the car, it can effect the car's handling characteristics.

You can see it here from the F2008. The front wheels are at an toe out angle for more responsive turn in while the rear are set at an toe in angle for bettet stability and traction out of the corner.
