OK, I'll take no offense at being called a moron. Anyway, the point is that front wheel drive cars are inherently prone to understeer, because of the disproportionate weight over the front wheels vs. the rears, and because the front tires, doing the steering/braking/powering, tend to get a bit stressed. So to the extent you want downforce, you want it to make the front wheels stick. Adding downforce at the rear has its place, I admit (BTCC cars do have rear wings), so that you don't lock the rears on braking under racing conditions; still, the wings on street fwd cars are either for show or to smooth the airflow. Notice that they are not the inverted NACA airfoil shape you would expect if downforce were the goal.
