I don't dream about them at night, no. But you can build a great AWD performance car on a FWD chassis (including the transverse engine and all), as proven by Mitsubishi with the EVO (among others).

Not at all likely. The next generation M2 coupe, convertible, gran coupe, and any other form factor BMW thinks they can sell will be AWD (unless hell freezes over).

Well, sure if you want to debate semantics, but I personally don't have time for that so I'll call it AWD.

Furthermore Haldex is only one way to do AWD. An EVO, for example, does not use a Haldex system.
