The 323 came in AWD on a few variants though, right?

Which makes me wonder, since they share a lot of parts, would that AWD drivetrain fit an MX-3..?

MX3 in RWD form would've just been that 1.8 K-series V6 slotted into a hardtop Miata. Which would've been amazing.

The only ones I've seen around aren't in great shape and they only pop up on CL once in a while. I got mine when I was 16 for 900 bucks. The dick who owned it before me had the clutch worn all the way down, the flywheel had been incorrectly resurfaced, and my rear axle was broken. Made the mistake of having my parents title it and they wouldnt let me keep it when i moved out. It's in a scrapyard somewhere now

Basically an IS300. More fun and more weight. Needs a larger engine and still understeers. It's not all roses as RWD. Especially when you want a functional vehicle.

There's significant advantages to FWD, especially for vehicles like the RSX and Celica.

The set up of this car was all wrong. You and I and anyone with any sense looks at that chassis and thinks MR or at LEAST FR, but somehow Lotus ended up with a FF. It got it's lunch eaten by the Miata, a car much more similar in style and layout to the original Elan.

That was because the Miata was cheaper, better built and more reliable. Most people who buy small convertibles actually care about FWD Vs RWD

Although I agree it would be nice as RWD, the 850 is one of the better handling FWD. Would have actually rather saw it with a reliable AWD system.
