Why FWD?
I really hate the fact that Bonne'* are FWD. I'd prefer AWD over RWD, though. Is there any reason why they have/had to make them FF?
This has probably been discussed before, but I found 25+ pages with the search function.

There is also a slightly better handling/performance in rain & snow.

Too expensive of a drive train. GM'* pretty good at cutting corners where they can sometimes.

what'* it matter if it'* FWD? It'* not a performance car to the point it would really benfit all that much from it. It saves weight, more compact, you don't have that huge RWD 'hump' in the center of the car, better traction in most driving conditions, etc. The Bonneville makes a good FWD car.
