Cars that you wished were RWD
 
Would've been cool to have a 97-01 Honda Prelude as RWD. The profile of the car screams RWD but sadly resulted in FWD.

Another car that I always wished was RWD was the Honda Del Sol. In fact, it should've been the direct competitor to the MR2 being made mid-engine RWD. Sadly, FWD!

I may get nailed to a cross by saying this but I've always liked the shape of the 93+ Ford Probe GT. It has RWD body lines, imo.

I'm sure there are more that I've missed...

How about...ANY of the 90-2000 Honda's?

Mazdaspeed3. Crazy torque steer on what should be a nice, quick car.

Honda CRZ! I know I sound crazy for saying that, but imagine how fun it would be if you built the L15 a bit so it didn't poop out at 6000rpm. I know it's ugly but if it were MR then it would be more serious of a sports car by default and they would make it lower and side air vents make anything look better. It's got the only 6 speed manual fitted to an engine below 2L from Honda, and in a few years battery tech will improve the performance with a battery pack swap.

Addition:

- Mini Cooper S
- CRX

Peugeot RCZ

EDIT: After reading the Cool Wall post about the Genesis Coupe that got me thinking of another:

Hyundai Tiburon. So sexy, yet so unsporty...

reni 10-24-2013 01:19 AM

GTI, Golf, Jetta, Scirocco, Corrado, TT as FR... New Beetle as RR.

Haha! I also wish Tiburons were RWD, considering that's what my DD is.

Agree with the 5th Gen Prelude.
Agree with the Ford Probe
Don't agree with the DC2
Don't agree with the CRX

The Del Slow should have never been made.

Fiesta ST, I would have hesitated really hard on the FRS. Most other cars I can live with being FWD, except maybe some Volvo's and misc. station wagons (TSX Sportwagen

In my fantasies where I have unlimited time, money and garage space I want to convert an Abarth to RWD, but the chassis is so mediocre I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be RWD from the factory.

Nevermore 10-24-2013 01:26 PM

Mazda 626? I mean, it was my favorite car I owned up until the FR-S...
