I don't need to drive it becuase my personal view of how it handles means nothing. Allow me to reiterate my point... The people who shape public opinion (the critics, auto journalist, etc.) will not be impressed by a FWD layout. Call it a automotive media bias if you will. Unless you are a member of the automotive intelligensia it is really meaningless how impressed you where by the car. As I said it doesn't matter how much we love the car. Wait till next year and take a look at the comperision tests in the magizines. See what they say. See if they don't lament it's lack of AWD. See if they don't rate the 3 series and A4 higher. I could be wrong. The rear wheel steering maybe so great as to more than make up for the inherent inferiority of FWD, but as I stated in my original post I doubt it.
Having said all that... I hope I am wrong.
