I thought honda was going to make the Accord AWD too. There was like a 20 minute clip of it on the internet just over a year ago when they tested it in the snow.
The placement of the motor will be horizontal, like EVOs and WRX/STI. We dont see them often as RWD anyways. The rwd conversion can be done on these family/luxury cars, but my hand still goes out for the S2K.
