FWD cars that should have been RWD

You would completely fuck the balance if you converted it to RWD. Don't mess with perfection.

I wish they atleast made the Accord coupe a front-biased AWD system. But this car hugely deserves to be a RWD from the looks and V6 it has.

101% agree! It totally needs a RWD platform.

>Let's build a good looking luxury exexutive car with a ferrari V8 engine mounted transversaly
I'd like to meet the idiot who thought this was a good idea

>I wish they atleast made the Accord coupe a front-biased AWD system.
The 8th gen almost got it. It will probably never be a thing because it would eat into Acuras sales.

It's mounted transversely in it's original ferrari application.

transversely at the back
slight difference, old boy

>3 sporty cars

Forgot your tofu

It wasnt a sporty car. Just a version of a shitbox.

It looks like a generic bloated modern coupe, of course its fwd.

>longitudinal FF

That would understeer even worse, unless the engine was mounted behind the front axle.

Prove it.

More of a sports car than the pigfat celica

>It wasnt a sporty car.
yes it was. it wasn't a sports car though.
>Just a version of a shitbox.
so are some of the best drivers cars ever made

the AWD one was bretty good

It should really be AWD, but the IV model was amazing as a RWD.

They have the SS on sell so you can pretty much pretend its a RWD impala/caprice. it'd be great if they made a new 4-door caprice on the Alpha Chassis for those who don't like the look of the Camaro.

*AWD
>tfw no seventh gen Celica GT-Four

The Sprinter and Corolla Levin up to AE111 should've been FR, though.

I'm pretty sure the NSX and S2000 are the only AWD Hondas that aren't ancient and/or obscure JDM models (S600, Beat)

You forgot the Crown, m8.

Honestly I can't think of a single FWD car that wouldn't be improved by being RWD.

i want one but it's just so god damn boring to drive

>tfw that body kit on the celica really clicks with my inner ricer

Too bad I'm hellbent on owning good-handling examples of all drive trains.

Initial D wasn't real.

except the civics of course

I remember when the Scion tC first came out when I was a teen and being extremely disappointed to find out it was FWD

If it came out RWD with the current 180hp, cheaper interior and a smaller compact size coupled with a light weight at a cheaper sub 20 grand price, Toyota would've made bank off of selling the car as a reliable economy car with sporty look at a financially stable price for the youth. But I still love my tc

no it didn't. Still FWD

Did they really make just that generation (or the type R) RWD? Wouldn't that cost a shit ton of money for Honda? Or was it the precursor to the S2000k?

Little stuff like the 500 or the FiST should stay fwd. I 95% agree though.

But the global racing heritage of the ae86 is

>this far into the thread
>"should have been rwd: the car" still hadn't been posted yet

They should have kept the AWD option

...

yes

>muh rwd

Enjoy your drivetrain power loss, faggots.

...

That would've required a RWD Accord to exist

>he knows more than the engineers
>Old Hondas and Peugeots literally BTFO newer, more powerful RWD cars in the twisties

Yeah, I'm not sure the Crown and Celsior count as sporty.

...

It was fwd buddy

>Prelude

Japanese recession and american performance automotive crash in late 90s as opposed to late 80s-mid90s significantly better selling of performance cars.

Or its a biggass i6

If the Aristo made it in I see no reason for them not to. There's also the Mark II but that's just a Chaser in a plainer body.

>It wasnt a sporty car. Just a version of a shitbox
Stuttered the Cuckstang driver, still confused as to how an Impreza with a hood scoop and a big spoiler could blow his doors off and leave him in a cloud of vape smoke.

Integra has an AWD variant, and people have taken the drivetrain from the CRV and put it in the insight, so if you wanted to put a lot of work into it you could make one

The Tiberon

Every fwd car

All of them.

>Integra, Rsx, cobalt ss
>Not knowing that changing the drivetrain completely fucks the weight distribution
>180hp
>Rwd
>20k
Are this delusional on how much msrp is formed. This would be 23k at least since its an import if it were almost entirely domestic it would cost around 20k. Not to mention knowing toyota they would fuck it up and turn it into a camry coupe or another frs/86. Unless you went full spartan like an sfr.

I want a fwd f body last gen trans am if that counts.

Does it really cost $3000 just to turn the engine the proper direction? What's so much cheaper about FWD?

>completely fucks the weight distribution

adding a drive shaft and all connections to the rear wheels?
FWD has the engine connection all in one packed front area.

>65% weight over the front wheels is not ideal

I agree with pic related.
but then again it surprisingly handles like a champ compared to other fwd sport coupes so I can't complain, and I feel like fwd isn't necessarily a drawback with this car. must be wizardry

>anything but 50-50 is even acceptable

every fwd ever

God those are beautiful cars.

This was a longitudinal FF and had no understeer to speak of

The real tragedy was the mrs never got the engine it deserved from this car.

I had a 1987 Toyota Celica GT Hatchback. I got it from a neighbor that was moving and gave it to me because when I was a kid I used to mow his lawn and I always watered his plants and took care of their pets when they were gone. So at 16 that was my first car.

IT WAS AWESOME. So awesome in fact some asshole at my school got jealous and set it on fire in the school parking lot.

Toyota made some awesome cars back then. Why is everything today so lame?

>Toyota made some awesome cars back then. Why is everything today so lame?
Because awesome doesn't sell to women. Lame does.

With Toyota's economy of scale, I would think they should be able to source a driveshaft for significantly less than $3000.

Why should anything with a v8 be ff in the first place?

...

You get 73/27 in the rwd swaped integras at best as far as ive seen.

Toyota has a tendency to bs initial costs compared to finalized costs. It would add at least 2.7 k to the price of a car.

More like safty and "reliability" and "economy mpgs" are all they try to sell because thats become their brand merit.
