I still hate front wheel drive.. Just doesn't make sense to have the
steering and drive on the same axle,

Please explain.

Pffftttt...

Yeah, I kinda figured *that* was the lack of thought underpinning your
absurd statement, "Just doesn't make sense to have the steering and
drive on the same axle." Fortunately, Alec Issigonis wouldn't have paid
any attention to you back then, and no automotive engineer would pay any
attention to you today. But, hey, go ahead...go through life wallowing
in your ignorance.

STFU, you don't know what google is talking about.. I have raced front
wheel drive vehicles.. Come back to me when you actually know what you
are talking about...snerk..

I do know what I am talking about; you do not. Your ignorant statement
is all the proof that is needed.

Please explain why it "Just doesn't make sense to have the steering and
drive on the same axle." Use your own words. Go ahead. Oh, it's
axles, by the way, usually.

I'll go, but then I want your rebuttal in your own words. First when the
driven wheels are on the same axles as the steering, it's more
complicated mechanically. Secondly, you have steering components and
driven components that are under a lot of stress, such as CV joints
which fail very often. Third, if you lose traction like in snow, you can
steer all you want and you go in a straight line.
