I was thinking of current fwd being used (for cost reasons, of course) in maybe
an
entry level Ferrari or Porsche with all the marketing B.S. proclaiming
superiority
and that fwd is the modern way to go because 90% of ordinary cars are front
driven
these days. It would be a terrible blow to the average poseur's ego. And true
knowledgeable enthusiasts of the marques would feel their intelligence insulted
(that one I understand).
