The whole point of this
The whole point of this article seems obvious. To sound edgy on a technicality while hoping it gets argued. But the writer misses out on another pretty substantial technicality. There is a clear difference in automotive technology terminology. There's a "mid-rear" mounted engine and a "mid-front" mounted engine. Calling a mounting position "mid" doesn't define position at all. It's either one of the 2 front or rear.
