Cabin Space You have increased the space inside of the car, by removing the drivetrain Back to this one... Show me the Money!!! ???

The last FWD car I saw that actually gained room was my buddies old Ford Torino and that was in the 70's iirc... Traction - with the weight of the engine over the drive wheels you can have better traction in slippery conditions That being said, there are many automotive enthusiasts and engineers who agree with you that front wheel drive sucks. *Auto design like boat design is a series of compromises. |
