Counting on or hoping for, Fen?
This will be an awesome car. Plain and simple. I've only driven a 2.4 and that car is great. I have one lined up for an upcoming road trip and am eagerly looking forward to it.....................unless a certain convertible lands in my lap.
Very few people will notice the lack of AWD in the real world. Only snow states in the middle of winter might really even tell the difference. The High Performance Front Strut with the linked H-arm rear suspension is simply world class for ride and handling.
Yes, it would spec out nice to have AWD, but given the choice of the added cost and mass vs. the very limited improvement in handling????? I'd probably not order it.
The FWD car will be more than sufficient.
And keep in mind, the GS will be a lower volume entry in the Regal lineup. And an AWD version woujld be even lower volume.
IMO, of course, I am simply shocked to read Fenwick going on this way.
