The answer is always:

Because it's cheaper
Because more cabin space

seriously, what the fuck were they thinking

>damn, somebody is making a car that's directly referencing our older model, what should we do?
>that shit is not going to sell lol, let's make fwd mobile

>>17073697
It's still a nice comfy car and it looks great while also being economical and reliable. It's a fantastic DD for those who want something a little bigger than a civic.

but the Accord coupe already existed

>>17073864
It did, but the Accord coupe wasn't comparable until the 2000's when the prelude was canned.

Prelude (si) had better engines options, 4ws, atts, better weight distribution, better interior, etc.

The better question: what is the point of torque in FWD cars when you can't put it down?

>>17074353
120ft/lbs

>>17074353

Holy FUCK --- 290 ft-lbs at 3k RPM is verrryy niiiccee (unless it's pigfat w/ only 4 gears).

nothing new here

>>17074487
Yes, posting cars that shouldn't be FWD in a thread about why cars are FWD is totally autismal.

You really burned me with that hot post, bro.

>>17074407
Nope, Fiesta ST is 6 gears.

>>17074353
im a car idiot

why does the car apparently get weaker with higher RPMs

neck yourself retard

THIS

If they had ever made a RWD Integra, it would have sold like hotcakes.

>>17074760
He's right tho. It's a thread about cars that were made FWD when they really shouldn't have been. You're just going full V10 DOHC Twin Turbo Autismo because he's tripping unnecessarily.

Um... This hasn't been a very difficult discussion. It's pretty easy to know what cars are FWD / AWD / 4WD / RWD, and I was just going with the topic of the thread by pointing out some examples that would've been great if not for their drivetrain configurations.

But please, enlighten me as to what I'm wrong about (like, omg, is the MX-3 actually RWD!!!1!). I won't even call you names or tell you to off yourself.

>>17074121
I was surprised when I found out this was FWD

>>17073697
It works great the way it is though, especially the Type SH. It was the best handling car under $30k back in 1997 when it was released. The handling is very point-and-shoot, and the longer wheelbase means it's very composed when cornering. It has a great engine too, the H22A4 has the older VTEC that really "cracks" when the crossover happens. It's a fun car that also has plenty of practicality as a daily driver.

horsepower is a function of torque and engine rpm

Because I won't lose control when someone taps the back of my car midway through a corner.
