Actually we do have the hump in the center of the car....but whose counting.....

The AWD isn't totally impossible. I know theres at least one gm AWD tranny that will bolt up to our engines. I think it was in the 6000?
Of course it'* still gonna be hard to make that trans hold up to a lot of power. And theres still a ton of custom work involved(axles, blah, blah).

Citroen 4 door sedans in years past, maybe 60'* & 70'*, had front wheel drive and the floor was completely flat side to side, front to back.
