Front wheel drive vs. rear wheel drive ?
Why hasn't anyone metioned Rear vs. front with a 5 or 6 speed manual ? If a manual comes to the showroom floors, WILL IT BE REAR WHEEL OR FRONT WHEEL DRIVE ?
Comments would be great !
P.S. I grew up with a manual tranny (we called them standard transmissions) My first was a 1949 Chevy PU Truck with "colum 3 speed shift". AND NO I AM NOT 70+ YEARS OLD

okay so your 68 
acura will most likely keep FWD. It's much safer.

my mom and bestfriend have told me to tell you guys to stop telling me to spend my money; they are tired of my automobiles getting pampered and them getting whats left over which usually consists of change I find in my car by doing things you guys encourage

it will definitely remain FWD for now. Switching to RWD is a whole other ball of wax. No more using the Accord platform and say goodbye to your $8-10K price advantage over the 330!! It would cost a helluva lot more to re-egineer the entire car than to just drop in a manul tranny.
