Torque steer, understeer, braking/turning/accel with the same tires just don't seem like something to strive for imo but if it's what makes you happy go for it
Actually, the preponderance of rear drive and dearth of limited editions from Europe has more to do with the cost of emissions/crash testing than any inherent U.S. customer bias.
Look at how many modern cars
are front drive, seems like most of them.
I also note that even Honda went from the N300/N600 to it's current models, what was that about "Bloated American cars"?
The Limited production models may be fun in Europe but the manufacturers appear to find the U.S. regulations more hassle than they are worth.
Several such past efforts have not gone well in the long run, think of the Merkur XR4Ti as an example.
Renault, ANY Renault, are now very rare in the U.S.
I've been trying to locate another Fuego five-speed transmission for a long time now, seems I would have to get one from Europe and they are no longer common there either.
