This is exactly why I had a question regarding Honda ever entering the full size segment, because they have no current full size vehicle. If Honda or Acura did, however, enter the full size car segment I think that they'd have to make it a RWD with optional SH-AWD (for Acura) or FWD (at the very least for Honda).
