I also agree that a RWD sedan doesn't have the mass market appeal of FWD, but DCX isn't expecting to sell this is Accord/Camrey numbers. From their POV they have the RWD niche all to themselves.
seems odd that DCX would aim low though, especially in such a huge market. niche cars are fine... but not at the expense of some big volume sellers. DCX can't afford to ignore the FWD sedan market they were in with their current FWD's. the domestic RWD market might be theirs now, but i imagine they'll have company soon... and once they do they'll suffer... because it seems that no matter how good DCX products appear, they never seem to have the hits they need.
