About 30 years ago, just about every major manufacturer on the planet (except Mercedes-Benz and BMW) converted nearly every passenger car they had to a front-wheel-drive platform.
More recently, Chrysler was among the first builders to rediscover the marketing (and performance) benefits of going rear-wheel drive with its 300, Dodge Magnum wagon, and Dodge Charger.

Take the Ford Taurus--it's front-wheel drive and available only with a V-6.
Same for the Toyota Avalon and the all-new Chevrolet Malibu.
