Nope. :D I'll skip the manual transmission comment since I did that in another post ;)
I prefer the handling characteristics of RWD to FWD. Even though my 330 is AWD, it is biased to the rear. I drove a 330i as well as the xi and could not discern the difference. I do like having AWD as I live on the side of a hill in New England and also try to spend a fair amount of time up in the mountains in the winter.
I looked at the Acura TL when I was test-driving cars and didn't like the feel of the FWD. It was very, very good compared to some FWD cars but I could still feel it.
At one time I had a Volvo XC70; its AWD is biased to the front wheels. I never liked the handling of the car, it always felt like it was plowing in the corners. Even the previous generation V70 I had (which was purely FWD) had a better feel in the corners.

Heh, apparently my humor does not come across easily on the Internet.

Nope. Maybe when I'm more fully awake it will work... :p

Thankfully my wife was able to convince me to go the step route. Thank goodness!
I'll be even happier tomorrow once I pick the car up from the dealership with a brand spanking new transmission!! Woohoo!!
