There definitely seems to be a disregard for anything with awd, especially anything sporty and I believe this is down to the fact that in the States the only home grown motors that use awd are either pickups or SUVs and they are the sole mode of transport by 'Red-necked'.
In the US if it's sporty at all it will be rwd and use a manual gearbox with a big engine, so anything which doesn't meet these requirements is regarded as crap.
