1. That would be '09+, >$40k brand new, and super rare. I can't imagine it'd be easy to find a good used one for under $20k.
2. The engine is still transversely mounted, and great deal of the torque still goes to the front wheels under all conditions. It's a step ahead of FWD, but I can't imagine it'd be free of all of FWD's limitations.
