That's all i was saying, when you start playing with sales figures, you gotta look at the niche and you gotta look at brand loyalty. You have to look at prestige, and you have to look at historical instances in that companies life. The drive wheels don't particularly give the car a legacy, it's the car's purpose or fit and finish. Look at the Legend, it's looked upon highly by most people who even own Mercedes and BMW. The FWD didn't make or break the car, it wasn't even in the minds of the people who bought the car and enjoyed it.
as an addendum, i wouldn't pay 40 for anything other than an RL. Nothing in this current Worldwide Lineup (all makes and models) even tickles my fancy other than the 05+ RL. "AWD is where it's at" Would i pay for a V8 anything? nothing other than an old Deville, or a Range Rover. V8s don't tickle my fancy.
