Otherwise? Otherwise to what?
2. Unless things have changed Volvo has no FWD cars. It's been a while since I looked at Volvos so it is possible that I am wrong. But I doubt it. Saab, the other Swedish manufacturer, is all FWD.
Well - as of 2007 the S40, S60, S80, V50, V70, XC70, XC90, C30, AND the C70 are either FRONT or ALL wheel drive.
I know it's been the case for some time.
3. All FWD cars have IFS. It's not necessary to specify "FWD-IFS". Any car guy would cuff you off the side of the head for that.
That's my point.
4. I see "car guys" (take Clay Taurus for example) driving those FWD rice rockets all the time.
Clay's car isn't FWD.
You must be referring to college kids with rich parents or the more well heeled penny loafer types. I never hung with either.
Weird - it's like you live in bizzaro world because The VAST majority of the college kids around here have Civics and Junk. Ricers.
5. Other than the Mustang, I can think of no other low priced "sporty car" on the market with RWD.
I can help you:
MX5, Solstice/Sky twins, RX8, and GTO, off the top of my head, too.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
