The market is BEGGING....

[Evan]

I think what everyone is forgetting is only "enthusiasts" drive RWD these days and they generally don't mind spending the money... at least that's what car makers think. Economical and FWD are butt buddies.

I disagree, I think we are seeing a resurgance of RWD. The new chryslers are RWD (only because they are based off last gen Mercedes, but regardless) the sport compact market is over fwd and into awd and rwd.
The ONLY sense fwd makes is for platform engineering. And since now the automakers have viable rwd platforms, I think we should see some downmarket rwd econo coupes. fuck the regurgitated "stick a slightly bigger engine in a fwd shitbox" formula that has been done until vomit inducing.
