Replying to: holdenguy (Apr 15, 2007 7:46 am) Wonder why not, they would be smart to put an AWD setup as an option in the RWD USDM cars, people here don't know how to drive, especially in the snow and rain. -mike

Replying to: paisan (Apr 15, 2007 7:06 pm) but the engine is far back in the bay and the front axle and steering assembly are very forward. Thanks for your reply Mike. |

Replying to: bumpy (Apr 16, 2007 11:21 am) Interesting about these AWD Bimmer sedans. I'll have to look into that a bit harder. Don't know why we don't get them here. |

i prefer my overpowered GM vehicles to have 100% rear-wheel-drive, thank you. i've never driven an AWD car that handled as nicely as RWD, but maybe i'm just not accustomed enough to AWD - probably never will be. One reason I don't want AWD in a G8 is that I'll always have "winter car" that is properly shod for winter conditions, so I'd keep a G8 garaged in such conditions just as I do my GTO-naro. btw, i don't think GM will spend the time/$ to crash-test/homologate an AWD version of a vehicle that is probably going to be fairly low-volume.

Replying to: elias (Apr 17, 2007 3:24 pm) Unfortunately not everyone is as fortunate as you and I to have several cars. As for handling, AWD out handles RWD at least in my experience on the road race course. Can't vouche for drag strip or other venues. -mike Motorsports and Tuning Host |
