Ooh ooh ooh! Let me be the first to say Focus RS!

Apparently that should have been RWD despite it being a complete re-engineering of the rather good Focus chassis

agreed. oh and the fiat coupe would have been good as a rwd too.

Who would've bought a 3 Series if Alfa could've made this drive like one?

i'd have DEFINITELY considered an alfa instead of my m3 if there was a rwd equivalent.

I don't really car whether a hatchback is FWD or RWD, just I know that many on PH were mightily upset that the RS wasn't RWD or AWD. Plus, apparently the RS does pretty well as a FWD so no real need for it to change.

Most of the cars mentioned so far are renowned for their handling (integra, corrado etc) so i dont think they should be rwd. I will say that the fiat coupe should have been rwd though.

on reflection it is mainly coupes i think. there's something about a coupe shape that makes it look as though it ought to be.

These:



Enough said. That V6, looks, interior and RWD. Winner.



Mondeo RWD could have opened doors to some tasty engines. FWD is very limiting.



I think RWD would transform the appeal of the A5 as well. Shame.
