CL FEATURED IN SEMI-CONSERVATIVE NEWS WEBSITE

"Rear wheel drive is universally considered preferable for dedicated sports cars, though Acura’s TL and soon-to-be-discontinued CL, both front drivers, are considered better-handling cars than most of the rear-drivers they compete with. Generally, rear-drive cars provide a better "feel" for using the gas pedal to adjust your car’s attitude as it makes its way around a long, sweeping curve. Rear wheel drive also helps balance the weight distribution, or even allow engineers to bias the weight toward the rear (which improves braking performance). Four-wheel drive has appeared on a few Audi, Porsche, and Italian exotics, but it’s expensive and difficult to implement effectively for sports cars."
the whole thing is about roll stiffness distribution
