But anyways, hope VW strikes some deal with Proton and this affordable car becomes ultra affordable for the masses... yeah I heard about that too… one car expert predicted that a few years back, bout the RR future.

With the engine in front, you have limited crush space in an accident. Unless you utilize something like Mercedes' design that pushes the engine under the car in a crash (A class), you really dont have much choice but to put the engine at the back.
