I think they are both too far removed from entry level now, they'd need
several steps to get from entry to their main-line products. And of course
they will know internally that FWD is hopeless at the power outputs their
products deal in.

90% of ordinary cars are shopping trollies. 10% have aims in life other than
going to the supermarket. 0.001% are Lotuses and Ferraris. Vive la difference!
Of the Public, 10% can tell a shopping trolly from a bicycle, 0.01% can tell
a race car from a road car, 0.0001% know _why_ they want a Lotus.
