RR != MR

the Karmann Ghia, however, is MR. i can't think of anything else right now.

I was thinking about that but NESW20 is right its more as a Rear engine Rear wheel drive like a 911. I was thinking outside the US any FR or MR.

VW have been RR or FF (once a while 4wd), but don't think they made FR layout

I know the difference, close enough.

Why does the OP ask though?

They have a concept called the BlueSport Roadster which is a MR layout with a diesel engine.

They also have another concept that is a MR layout but is more of a compact car. It's called the "up!"
http://www.vw.com/upcomingcars/upconcept/en/us/

Both are expected to be produced soon.

hmm, i didn't know that about the Karmann Ghia. i guess nevermind what i said.

and matador - i figured you knew, i was just splitting hairs and being nit-picky. gotta keep you honest! haha :)
