So does the engine/transmission sit entirely behind the rear wheels then? Or is there some 180 degree bend in the power flow going on? I seem to remember some eastern block, rear engined thing having a set up with the powertrain completely behind the rear wheels and reading that it has dangerous handling tendencies due to weight imbalance.

Suzuki could do their SUVs and trucks Mitsubishi focus on AWD/Sport.... likely with an intent to take on Subarus like the WRX... Mitsu has the heritage for this. Mazda could be a sporty bread and butter division with the Miata and RX as their halos. Use Mazda Skyactive and SkyActive-D engines all around.

The M car is Infiniti's STS.
