I have been wondering this for a while now, and I have not found a decent answer.

Why are there no small, rear wheel drive sedans (or coupes) with sporting suspensions and 4 cylinder motors? Why does BMW need to have a 3.5 liter turbo 6 in there? Why can't they put in a decent 4-banger? With gas costs being what they are, wouldn't it make sense?

To my knowledge, there are 2 4-cylinder rear driver cars on the market today; the MX5 (Miata) and S2000. However, old BMWs, Nissan 240SXs, Toyota Corollas, even Toyota Starlets are in high demand on the used car scene.
