Brad Martinson asks:
  "If FWD is so wonderful, why aren't there any mid-engined FWD cars?" 

 The Citroen SM was a mid-engined FWD car. That's why the hood
is SO long. The handling was excellent; even with 190 hp, I never
felt any torque-steer.
 And of course, the original Cords were also mid-engined FWD cars,
but you don't see too many show up at autocrosses.

it backs up.
