It seems like everywhere I look, AWD cars are popping up. First Audi popularized it with their Quattro. Mitsu had their Eclipse GSX and the 3000GT. Now we have BMW with their 325/330xi and Subaru has their Impreza. Jaguar with their X-Type. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I expect to see more and more AWD cars in the future. My theory is that people are tired of the bloated SUVs, but still want good handling in the rain and snow. Manufacturers are seeing the cost of adding AWD go down to the point where it's a viable option for lower range sedans and sports cars. Cars Enthusiasts have long known that RWD is the optimum for performance cars. Now we can have the performance of RWD with the safety of FWD.
