Daewoo Magnus and other cars that shared the body and mechanicals

Unless I'm reading things wrong, don't we agree? Lengthwise=longitudinal, sideways=transverse. And I don't know of a any car to have a transverse engine with rear drive.

The Daewoo Tosca is a mid-size car built by GM Daewoo in South Korea and marketed worldwide by General Motors mainly as Chevrolet Epica, but also as the Holden Epica. It replaces the Daewoo Magnus and its derivatives. The Chevrolet Epica was officially launched in Europe at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show. The internal code for this model is V250, and is unique in that it is powered transversely-mounted straight six engines.[1] Contrary to the preceding models (V100 Leganza and V200 Magnus), which were styled by Giugiaro, the V250 was designed entirely in-house. The car was also introduced to Australia in April 2007, under the name Holden Epica, replacing the Holden Vectra.

Whatever it is, I don't really like it.

You are right, except that a few mid (and rear?) engined cars have RWD and transversely mounted engines. The Fiero & MR2 off hand, probably the current crop of Lotuses as well.
