Stop the Darkside!#%#@$^%$#

WTH! Why is everyone calling every single RWD car the "darkside"? That makes no sense. The darkside in the automotive world usually means the color black, meaning you have a black car, not that it's RWD.

FWD: boring side...

RWD: DARKSIDE WUT WUT!!!

The dark side to me is domestics.

And I thought this thread was about me.

The Dark Side approves of resistance. It provides something to do when the conquest of the universe is in a holding pattern.

the darkside is an evil power. i think that somethng that opposite but can be better in some ways is considered the darkside.

for example for us, honda fans, the darkside can be RWD. "evil" because its supposedly dangerous (imo not really) but more power is availible. another way is domestics, because of supposed "reliability" dangers, but then you get big V8s and torque as the plus.

from the opposite side, someone in a BMW or so forum may consider FWD may be considered the darkside because of handling characteristics, with the benefit of price, operating costs, more reliable models, and practicality...
