I actually think some compaines are probably "scared" to have a go at making 2wd cars. I mean if you look at it, basically AE have the market sewn up, as long as their quality doesn't take a massive down turn then they are basically laughing.
So to "break" this dominance is going to take a serious effort, and i'm not sure how much time people are going to put into that.
Also, if you look at 4wd, there are not so many new parts for some compaines to make. Strange idea, but think about it. If thesaid company makes touring cars, then a lot of transmission bits can be carried over.
Also, it's accepted that double deck carbon cars are fine for 4wd - where as 2wd it has alwasy been considdered that you need a mould a tub. I don't think the market is quite in a place where "many" companies have the confidence (see above) to make a new chassis mould. I know there are exeptions, but generally speaking i think this makes it easier for companies to get into 4wd.
