RWD : it makes me laugh ! Alfa stopped the RWD for long because it's less efficient and doesn't bring many things. BMW has to put ESP, EBD, etc. etc. etc. to keep their cars on the road just because of FWD handles better. What is the advantage of a RWD ? when you've a very powerfull engine, it's maybe necessarly but look at an Alfa GTA : it's a FWD and it compete with any BMW. Because it's well designed (handling).
Plus : in the USA, Hudson, you seem to say that Americans think that it's important as American people are the slowest on our earth when they're drinving on boring and huge roads....
In Europe many buyers (of BMW or other makes) don't care if their cars are FWD or RWD. "Worse", many people do prefer FWD ! Do you prefer a RWD as a Firebird or something like that or a car which handles well as an European car (not all but many) ? !
