That's just cos BMW are trying to attract Audi drivers.

Or perhaps 350Z drivers

99% - pig's arse!

Do some research, don't just make **** up!

Just so I know - is there any front wheel drive car (any - anywhere, no limits, road or competition) that you would concede is a good car? Whilst I agree with the basic idea of RWD is good I just don't understand the level of hatred you seem to have for FWD.

When it comes to performance cars, yes, faster is better. Acceleration or handling or both.

I like fast cars. I can't get my head around a Prius or any other FWD econobox. Everyone has a personal preference and mine are fast AWD and RWD cars. I honestly can't think of a single FWD car that I would pay to own and drive. If a car like the Civic Si were rear or all-wheel drive I'd consider owning it. Small, great handling, fuel efficient, somewhat quick and most of all fun to drive.

Unless I'm the only member here talking to myself, it's a discussion.

Great example by the way, solid proof you provided that FWD is faster and provides better handling than all AWD and RWD cars.

Over the past 100+ years almost all of the world's fastest race and sportscars have been All-Wheel or Rear-wheel drive.

I see you're from Australia, Nissan entered the V8 Supercar series with the FWD Altima... did they keep it FWD? Or did they make it RWD? Think about it.

How many FWD Rally cars are converted to AWD to compete in the fastest classes worldwide?

Not the best example - the regulations mandate rear wheel drive.

Good, because it's a better platform than FWD.
