This post brought to you by: I saw a car rush to turn onto a road so it didn’t have to wait to turn for a few minutes again. The front end lift on that Nissan Altima was so comical it was almost cartoony.

List at least 2 FWDs from each manufacturer please! Or different vehicle types too! SUV, Sedan, CUV, Hatchback, whatever it may be!

I think the Oldsmobile Toronado had near 400 Hp before the emissions regulations kicked in.

Mazda had the mazdaspeed 3 with 263hp.

I’m guessing Toyota has the v6 Camry.

Nissan the maxima?

Don’t forget the forbidden fruit (and Civic):

Seat Leon Cupra 310 Limited Edition: 306 bhp

Honda Civic Type R: 306 bhp

Vauxhall Astra VXR: 276 bhp

Renault Megane R.S. 275 TrophyR: 275 bhp

The Astra VXR (and normal Astra) is a pretty sexy looking car:

Wow, if the Astra came to the U.S. I’d be drooling all over it.

From the manufacturers of my current cars...

2008-2015 Mazda CX-9: 273 hp (yes, you could get it in FWD)

2009-2013 Mazda6 3.7 V6: 272 hp

Both of the Mazdas are US market.

2007-2009 Toyota TRD Aurion: 323 hp (Australian market only, although the TRD supercharger involved was, AFAIK, available for the US-market Camry V6 as a dealer-installed accessory, so...)

2016-present Lexus RX 450h: 308 hp, and yes, you can get it in FWD

The previous-gen Astra did, in sedan form, as the Buick Verano, for what it’s worth.

Really? The Verano is pretty ugly and doesn’t resemble the Astra much. The Saturn Astra seems to do a better job looking like the Vauxhall.

Senna. RIP. And that is a funny exchange.
