Front wheel drive is a huge advantage in the snow belt. And if my memory serves me well, the RL is the only FWD luxury car with it. While the other RWD V8 cars are slipping and a sliding in their tracks, the front wheel drive RL can leave them cold.
But.....
I just happen to live in sunny SoCal so frankly I'll take the RWD V8 thank you very much!



Alright master of the obvious...I've heard the "FWD is better in snow" arguement its getting f****g annoying. WE ALL KNOW FWD DRIVES BETTER IN SNOW. get over with it.

Just because FWD drives better in snow shouldnmt stop Honda from going RWD. if snow is of such importance then just give us a fricking AWD. If snowy areas were such a critical part in decison making none of the luxury marquees would have RWD.
