I seriously doubt FWD is a consideration. AWD/CVT... possibly. I wouldn't be surprised about them using the MR16DDT engine mated to a ~2800lb vehicle built on the Juke chassis. With the boost turned up a bit, hopefully you could see some performance numbers that would make a smaller vehicle scoot along.

I personally hope they pull the engine from Mercedes. It's about time that partnership bared some fruit on the sports car front.
