You're right. But I'm kind of thinking that the car being FWD is what ultimately did it in. Still, to this day whenever I see one of the Gen. 1's or 2's, I get to thinking about picking one up again. My son ever tell you about the Super SHO he had a few years back? Great car but what a money-pit it was. VERY mixed feelings the day we sold it.
As for how certain transmissions can kill a car, how about the Lincoln LS? Or how about the upcoming Dodge Challenger? IMO, the lack of a manual trans on these cars was and will be a HUGE mistake.
