So hanging behind the rear wheels? With the added weight and cost of the conductors?

Much better where it is, in between them. C4's went 50.2/49.8 weight distribution, so score one for GM engineers.

A) Megan Fox isnt hot in pictures, and only a little in video. And even if she was insanely hot, the toe thumb is a deal breaker for me.

B) its not just that. its a number of stupid little things like that, which add up to make the car as a whole a piece of junk

Inconveniently engineered and bad engineering are totally different.

No....they're in the trunk.

here's mine, flip flop, swap, flop flip, done.

and because the motor is in the front, weight distribution is perfectly fine.
