I am glad you mentioned rear drive. Then we could get away from needing AWD to solve the torque steer issue, not to mention reducing oversteer. Look at the new BMW M5. They don't have any problem with rear drive wheels and a V10 supplying the muscle. But I think I will just have to pine away for the good old days of the Volvo sport wagon. Volvo does just fine going to the bank each day after selling their current configs. Look at how hot the XC-90 SUV sells. Who would think raising a V70 3.5 inches in the air and slowing it down with extra weight would get the Swedes a bonus check.
