Why did the engineers opt to send power out back when they could have utilized the company's signature symmetrical all-wheel-drive system. You would expect the answer to lie firmly on the backs of Toyota, which is the other half of this joint venture. MotorAuthority looked into it, and according to them, that's not exactly the case. Toyota has been adamant that a rear-wheel drive sports car was to be the ultimate product of this sports coupe joint-venture.
