Well, that is the problem I have with car magazines: they never disagree with each other. This proves a lack of journalistic integrity, as no two automotive enthusiasts are in such accord on all things automotive, much less the much larger number of writers involved. The magazines are only good as a source of statistics.

They also tend to perpetuate the myth of RWD superiority. The SVT Contour is in no way hampered by its FWD layout and gains interior room and cargo space from it.

Which wheels do the driving should in no way be considered in a car's ability to be a performance sedan.


You can pillage an enemy once, but a customer is an endless resource.
