These Chryslers are the first mainstream RWD sedans in a long time (when was the last time anyone bought a Crown Vic'?). Besides handeling and packageing issues (yes, for most people FWD handles better), RWD doesn't make sense in a mass market car since to be driveable in areas where is snows (read: +80% of the market in North America) they need AWD even in base configuration, which is much more expensive than just starting with FWD and adding AWD to put down more power if needed.
