Must be the reason that the 6MT 911 Turbos are RWD. Or the reason that the 6MT Gallardo's were RWD too. Maybe the same applies to the R8-10's with the gate.
I dunno, seems to me that there's a vacant spot in the AWD Manual sedan market that's been wide open since the departure of the S4 6MT's. I am one of those who would love to see it filled, and would as history dictates, vote that choice with my wallet - if only I were given that option. |
Can't speak to them but the M3 isn't a $200k sports car. It wants to be a solid DD and at a "reasonable" cost and reliable. These are, at the end of the day, do everything cars. 911 turbos, etc for the most part get used more sparsely. I also imagine they know that the M3 crowd is more likely to abuse the car.
I had a 335 x-drive with a 6MT and did a couple of high rpm launches at the drag strip. Could not imagine doing that too often.
