RE: Should Audi switch to RWD?

[quattro <quattro@acacianet.com>]

But, was the poor rating of the A8 really due to the AWD and would it have been higher
if it were only RWD? Personally, I would never buy _any_ Audi were it not for AWD.

I've been pondering the A8's recent poor showing in the C&D luxury sedan comparison, Audi's relative position in the automotive hierarchy, as well as the many discussions on the list regarding the relative merits of quattro AWD in the dry and it occurs to me that Audi should consider returning to rear wheel drive on their base cars.
