Being a former Lotus Elise owner I'm no fan of extra weight and completely get why some prefer RWD, but I can tell you at least one reason...the other day in the rain I had to pull out from a shopping center driveway into heavy highway traffic speeding along at 60-70 MPH. If our car were RWD I would not have dared make the maneuver i did, and would have been sitting there for quite a while waiting for a break in the traffic. There's a reason the AWD 0-60 times are faster...it's called traction, traction, traction.
