It was done for aesthetics. Not everything on the car was done for pure performance... power top, A/C, leather seats, power windows/mirrors. Some concessions had to be made to real world driving. From an engineering standpoint, it makes me cringe that an I4 engine has a dual, but not as much as when I see ricers with Civics shoehorning duals on their transverse mounted FWD I4 grocer getters.
