If developing AWD for the car is even slightly profitable they should definitely do it, no excuses. They've been dropping the ball on potential customers ever since the first RS came out.

The old RS had some extra tricks to deal with torque steer, like the RevoKnuckle.

No AWD no care.

Look... me and the McBMW's people got this little misunderstanding. See, they got the Tri-Color M, mine is the Tri-Color N. They got the M3, I got the N3. We both got four all-season tires, special performance, steering wheel, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds.

Looks like Chris Harris is slumming it......
