So real life counterpart is AWD, right. If Elegy was called Nissan Skyline R32 in-game i would say that your idea is right. But if something looks similiar to something does't mean it's the same thing. Elegy is different car than R32, and as long as I can remember Elegy always was like main 'drift car' in San Andreas, so its even more pointless to make it AWD. I think that I made my arguments clear and understandable to you.
