With the exception of the Miata, RWD cars are too fucking big.

Rusted out and crushed because they stopped doing that in 1989

>Where are all the RWD subcompact hatches?
RWD isn't viable for econohatches for a variety of reasons:
>drivetrain losses
>reduced cabin space
>more effort to assemble

Basically RWD interferes with everything an econobox needs to do and adds nothing for most people.

ND Miata+GT86 is probably about as small as RWD cars can reasonably made nowadays.

Physical size wise, not weight.

MB SLC/CLC

those are great RWD subcompacts.

Smart Fortwo is RR

>>17024620
Holy fuck you're right. I can't believe they actually went from fwd for the first two gens to rwd for the current. And made it shorter than the second gen while they were at it.

If they offered a peppy tarbo of this in the states I'd be all over it.

>>17024714
Too bad the traction control is REALLY REALLY conservative and can't be fully disabled, even when you start pulling fuses.

>>17024729
Why the fuck would they do that :(

Because it's based on the smart car platform and trying to have fun with that thing is calling death over for a drink.

No, RWD just makes the car too long, and FWD is good enough for 90% of shitbox duties.

RR is good for compact and roomy
MR is good for compact but not roomy, but superior performance

However, deadly handling characteristics

We are good. Don't forget where hotrodding came from, and it wasn't the ashes of Europe. Thick-peckered manly Yanks needed some fun after saving the world for Jesus.

>>17029537
You mean saving the world for political correctness and multiculturalism.

>>17029543
Yeah. How's that multiculturalism going for you? What... is this the 3rd time your sister got raped this week?

It's funny because the rape rate is three times higher in the US, yet you insist that Europe is being ruined.
