No he's saying that the RX-8 was up against other RWD cars and the FT-86's closest competitors are all FWD/AWD.
And that doesn't mean anything to me because there is no reason to pay more for a RWD layout. The only reason it's not more common is because of packaging issues for small cars which need to maximize interior space. (RWD also takes a small hit in terms of fuel economy because of the one extra directional change the power has to take on it's way from the crank to the wheels)
