I've always loved my sedans. Kept my last one for 6 years and didn't really want to sell it. had I bought the E90 I wanted, I may still have it.

I always prefer the sedan over the coupe version, aka m3 vs m4. But after having two coupes they are not that bad with kids. A 2 seat coupe would not work for me.

Didn't Pontiac have a front drive V8 full size car with that option in the 80's? It was a sport something or other.

I'm pretty sure they had that in the 2000s. I don't see a problem with it. FWD/AWD cars tend to need to be set up for oversteer. If you've got more weight up front, why not put more tire there?

I put wider front tires on the Mazdaspeed3. It actually does reduce understeer with no downside that I can perceive.

Pontiac did indeed do this with one of the versions of the Grand Prix in the 2000s. Might have been the one they put a V8 into right before the platform went away.

Are you sure that's not a typo ?

No, read it in an article so looked it up on audiusa. The reason is what Nick stated above.
