lol FWD is cheaper, more dd'able. I'm ok with any drivetrain as long as it's competitively priced for the performance.

The Scion is almost too slow for the drivetrain to matter

partially agree based on brand... id take the subaru. i stopped reading after fwd. how can they use the words "compete with frs" with an fwd.

going further into this thread....

nissan should use the juke engine and Z BASED transmissions to make a small sub 2800lb l awd coupe rating 250 turbo horses.

How in the hell can this FWD hatchback even be considered as anything related to the Z car.

I've been watching Honda go downhill for the last 5-6 years... now Nissan???!

Come on.

For those wondering.
This is going to China first, the US is not even considered yet. Also, they are basically taking the Juke and making a car version of it. Which is a FWD & AWD platform.
