Yeah I'm not sure where you're going with that... No one has any problems with mainstream family sedans being FWD. Chevy has the Malibu that competes just fine with the Camry and Accord and is gaining market share. Obviously you see a ton of them. They're called the bread and butter cars for a reason.

We're not talking about those kinds of cars here. What we are talking about is a luxury flagship for GM's luxury brand. Apparently GM thinks you can make a luxury flagship by doing a quick and cheap badge job of a lowly fleet special. I beg to differ.
