I believe he's talking about the distance between the door edge to the front axle. If you look at a traditional FWD car the distance from the front edge of the door to the front axle is smaller than on a similar sized RWD vehicle. This is what makes Audi's so attractive, their longitudinally mounted engines give the vehicle a RWD profile, in other words a longer hood. FWD tends to look stubby up front, while RWD, or longitudinally mounted engines have a more traditional look to them.
In order to get that long hood on most transverse mounted cars you have a ridiculous front overhang. Puke!
