RWD is doable, but they'd have to completely redesign the transmission/hybrid system to accommodate AWD/RWD. And that would add a lot of costs. Ford uses a GKN differential in C2 AWD applications and it's not a cheap unit.
FWD works just fine on the Transit Connect, which is what this is intended to compliment/replace. I've driven minivans loaded to the gills with crap and never found FWD to be a problem there.
