Not to mention that the extra driveline shafts in a RWD car compare to a marginally lower fuel economy rating...BUT -- it's almost nonexistant, just worth mentioning.
In short, FWD lends to massive improvements in passenger and cargo space. Sit in a G8...Sit in an Impala..then look in the trunk space in both...The difference is stark.
