Accountants don't care what the public wants , just what sells and is cheaper to build . So there no getting around the fact that fwd is cheaper , but hey BMW's little one series seems to be selling good . Maybe people will pay a little more for a rear wheel drive , but Toyota are hardly in this market . Look nissan don't even build a turbo car 2litre car now after the s15 flopped and cost them badly .

All of my comments sent to Toyota Australia eh???
WTF did you make those god ugly bloody coronas!!! They are horrid looking things, bog warmer!? what were you thinking?!
21RC, why oh why couldnt we have the 22RC? or even the 3tgte?? would it have been too hard for the bogans at the time to understand turbo technology???
1X, now cmon, that wasnt a smart move.
Toyota Lexcen, thats just dumb. I would've fired the guy for even suggesting such an option.
You are all retard executives, please punch eachother in the nuts for me as I am too real for you.
Sincerely,
James.

but nothing *small* and rwd.. only the bigger saloons seem to be getting the rwd treatment...
i can see it being increasingly difficult to make a production price car under the 1000kg mark. current saftey standards require such a list of stuff that add so much weight, along with the list of consumer demands, electric everything, half decent stereo, ac etc etc. put the pricing into perspective. toyota's small sports car is the celica/mr2 $45,000 the *average* consumer refuses to pay $45k for somehting that is a tin shell with a motor... i on the other hand if i had 45k would consider it, as im sure alot of toymodders would too. but to the *average* consumer it is almost unheard of.
i think the reign of the *affordable* small sports car is over at least for the time being. look at everything in the sub 80k bracket. all larger cars (with the exception of mx5, celica, mr2) all other *quickish* cars are "hot hatches" i can only see this continuing.
as i see this comes from a variety of factors the "wank factor" so many people say to me and im sure other people have got it as well the "fast car is only cause you have a small dick" , "cant you get girls without the car" , "but you can only drive 110km/h anyway" i feel its no point in arguing with these people as they quite obviously dont understand the enjoyment of driivng a sports car. so its not particularty fashionable to have a *sports car* so people are pushed into purchasing cars that are *quick or quickish* but dont come across as a sports car. hence the hot hatch market increasing so much.
now dont flame me over this.
more women have a say in new car purchases now then ever before. it is something like >90% of car purchases a female has an influencing factor in the purchase. go look up the stats it is around that figure. at the same time women are a minority in the purchases of sports cars. i remember reading a few years back an interview with a porsche big wig who said something to the effect of "we dont consider women when we design our cars" and the reasoning behind this was that only a tiny fraction of their market was women. (something like 8% iirc)
so with more women influencing purchasing decisions and women not wanting sports cars the "comprimise cars" are getting a good foot in the door. ie: family sedan with a bit of grunt, hot hatches or even worse "the i try to look like a sports car but i have 1.5L of SOHC fury stopped by drum brakes and held up by leaf springs. oh but its got a factory spoiler" family of cars.
i know of two specific occasions where someones wife has quelled the sports car. one - guy has an mx5 loves the sports car feel, swears he'll keep it after getting married, says he;ll get a run around if need be. wife ends up forcing him to sell the mx5 and but a laser. end result - woman killing sports car. he is crushed that he no longer has a sports car and is stuck driving a boring car.
second occasion, married couple, adult children left home and independant. husband has always wanted a sports car but never been in a paractile position or finiancial position to buy one but now is. wife approves but sets a list of conditions, she ends up choosing an astra convertable. non turbo becasue the turbo is too fast. again another man wanting a sports car but unable to buy one becasue of a demon wife. (ok perhaps exagerating) but still one potential sports car sold but not becasue of a female purchasing influence.
im not saying all women are like this. infact this forum has quite a number that arnt. hell my own home has one that isnt. my gf has an aw11, the only batte over sports cars we ahve is which one of our aw11's (his and hers mr2's) gets the big shed (casue the small one leaks and gets the car dirty). but the bottom line is that there are more women that will prevent a sports car purchase then encourage it.
at least for the moment the face of affordable sports cars is different and will probaly be for quite some time.

Yes, RWD is good, but this thread's already been done. Let it die bro, there aint no new sprintah powah for ya, killah. 
As for the S15 mention, I think it priced itself out of too much of its market share. Nissan needed some sort of base model (still turbo) to sell to the 20-30yo's. I think only mid-life crisis - types bought the S15, 'coz they were the only ones who could afford it!

they should make the next generation celica (that is if there is going to be one) rear wheel drive and have the option of a turbo engine. How awesome would that be???? The current gen celica has been struggling a bit and this would really lift sales.

Not trying to be nasty, but you obviously don't read the motoring mags, eh? Celica, MR-2 and Supra are all dead, to be replaced by a 2 door GT sometime next year (best guess). I think it's supposed to celebrate Toyota's first F1 win - so expect a big show-car unveiling when they crack the top step of the podium. Problem is, I don't think anyone quite expected it to look like happening this early!
I'm guessing it'll be competing widt teh Porsche 911s or Ferrari F430 in both price and speed.

Hey Guys, i just want to say what a pain in the ass a FWD is to work on, i did a conversion on a Toyota Starlet, from auto to manual,it took 4 days flat out.  And how can a burnout be fun when u have no steering? My vote goes to the RWD for sure, u havent lived if u havent drifted in a rear wheel drive!!!!

No it will not, E-petitions don't do squat. Do some research, go to our local toyota dealer and ask the sales person if your petition would bring any changes.

I think Toyota should start to build front engine, rear wheel drive(FR) cars again.

Now! I know there will be alot of loosers tellin me marketing crap and why they don't make them.... But noone cares!! do u prefer FWD or RWD? simple as that!!

Yes you will get lots of these responses.. why? because toyota is a company, they are out to make money. Which is there a bigger market for in new cars? johnny P plater who wants to slide around a corner or middle aged bob who wants to drive a camry from A to B? who actually has the money to buy a new car? dismiss it all you want but this is a HUGE deciding factor for a company when making a new car..

Ditto Everything.
Car companies are influenced by how many cars they can sell now, and how many their marketing gurus say they can sell for the next 5-10 years. Anything else is categorised as either helping sell cars, or not helping sell cars.
E-petitions without REAL signiatures from REAL people are very firmly in the NOT HELPING SELL CARS CATEGORY.
Is it clearer now?
Oh, and no they don't particularly care that the next generation of buyer wants a new sprinter. Statistically speaking, by the time you can afford a new, re-made sprinter . . . you'll have a family and buy a Camry anyway! 
(they already make those, in case you hadn't noticed)

I think you are right to a degree. I am in the same position myself. I bought a 2003 corolla as a new car, because I thougt it would be a good car for my wife to drive, as she likes something nippy but doesn't care to much for handling. However when it comes to getting our second car, I am starting to lean towards getting something small and econical instead of a GT4 or MR2. I think women don't necessarily push for anon sports car, us stupid married guys just hink about the women to much, and get somthing they would like with just a bit of extra power.

Old school cars are cool, new cars are nice if you want something that saves on fuel and has makeup mirrors... my car is 20 years old

OH, Look, this thread has gotten craped up by loosers that think they know everything, so just forget about it! oh and one last thing, i own my own car, my parents do NOT own a commodore, burnouts and drifting are NOT gay, gay is spelt GAY and not ghey!! and if you own a front wheel drive now... I feel sorry for you! But we can't keep our 70 and 80's cars for ever, we'll all eventually have to switch to front wheel drive because obviestly car manufacturers don't care what people think. I started this thread because i was curious on weather people prefered front or rear wheel drive, and if every one prefers rear, then the world has not gone crazy, only the car companies.
I'm Kent brockman, and that was my two cents.

that's where you're getting it wrong. they care very much about what people think, because otherwise they wouldn't be selling so many cars! i just so happens that the vast majority of their customers don't give two shits about whether they could drift/do a burnout in their car! yes, its frustrating, but that's how it is

If you don't think car manufacturers care about the opinion of the general public.... then why did you want to start a petition?

Burnouts are pointless, drifting is a stylish, more skillful burnout.

You think rear wheel drive will be phased out completely because its more cost effective to produce fwd setups? Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes, wow, how did they all get it wrong??
What is stopping anyone from keeping their 70s and 80s cars?

We should close the forum registrations when school holidays are on. That would stop this sort of thing.

so far there has been 2 people that have given me an answer, the rest of you that haven't, here all you had to say was whether u preferred to be pushed or pulled(and no I'm not talking about how you like it with ya mum) RWD or FWD and you couldn't even answer a question as simple as that. So why bother wasting time replying when your just going to talk crap and have lame attempts at paying me out, if you have too much time on your hands, maybe you should go searching on google and try to find out how to get a life. <-- that could help.

put it this way dude you made 4 posts on this forum and in each of them you've made a total dick of yourself. Seems like you'll have a bright future here
Just for the reference i prefer rear wheel drive but don't really give a shit as long as it goes and fast. There are shit cars of all kind fwd, rwd and awd and there are great cars too stick to the great ones and it don't matter.
Yes rwd is arguably more fun but if you are desperate you can drift a front wheel drive as well as do burnouts in them and ultimately a front wheel drive will be safer at the limit, cos understeer is a bit easier to stop then oversteer for a novice.

Maybe you should try searching the forum and finding that this fwd/rwd thing has been done.
