98% of the auto buyng public don't give a darn or a rats behind if the car is rwd, fwd, or awd. The major concern now is economy, price, and dependability. The Impala delivers on all three. My wife after being married to a car nut for over thirty years can't tell the differeced between my rwd STS and my fwd Impala co. car. The only thing she cares about is how much it costs between fillups.
Chevrolet, with one exception, the Corvette, is the entry and volume model of GM. Why would they sacrifice sales of their best seller to attract the few that would actually buy RWD? Maybe one model, the SS, but would that be cost effective? You just move up to the Next offering, the G8.
Mr. Oak, you did'nt mention the Deusenburg and Cord. American technology and luxury at it's best. FWD, paddle shift, and turn following headlights from 1926-1937. And then the 66 Toronado and 67 Eldorado that at the time, everyone thought FWD was the future. Albiet too expensive and too different from the norm. Now everyone has FWD and now think RWD is the wave of the future.
