That's presuming I trust the FA20DIT... Which contradicts my earlier post, but if I was going through the work of a swap into a GD I'd probably do a supercharged FA20.

But over that I'd probably just do an IS300 Sportcross.

If I'm gonna drop that much in to a wagon I would want AWD at least. Though I would still take a shooting brake 86 so RWD isnt a deal breaker. Just a preference if going for utility

I plan on being in precisely zero scenarios where AWD offers any utility, all it does for me is add weight, reduce fuel economy, and introduce understeer.

Fair enough. I like going to Tahoe so AWD is semi-necessesary
