If it is AWD, people - even hardcore enthusiasts - need to be excited about that. It's a really, really good thing.

Agreed!!!

And extra weight accompanies electric hubs.

It doesn't matter because a giant asteroid will crash into the Earth tomorrow and end all life ... possibly.

To make a front engine, rear transmission car awd, you'd have to do what GTR does and run a second shaft back up to the front. But our low slang body style simply don't have to room; you'd up with with a Vette having the proportions of the GTR.

The other radical choice is to do what Ferrari did and put a mini transmission at the front crank pulley, and drive the front wheels that way. Again, no space.
