There would be more loss to the wheels on a RWD, so the 2.4 would put down the power worse. Handling would be better and launching would be better, but I would seriously want to upgrade power if it were on a rwd platform. The big push for FWD was to allow lower powered engines to propel the car efficiently.

it likely wont be the same 2.4l engine. my guess is it will be a lexus engine since they have a few RWD cars.

unless of course, they come up with a rwd tC replacement, but i doubt it will happen. if your really want something like that go pick up one of the new hyundai coupes.

Except the fact that Hyundai's are ___.
