So, basically, what you're saying is that the chain is only good for 1000 miles of city and highway driving in Dallas? And you say that's acceptable?
Suuuuuuuuuuuure

When you go AWD, there are many more constraints placed on the location of the engine. For front engined cars the whole engine must be ahead of the front wheels, which gives cars a long nose and ladens the car with unwanted rotational intertia. Prodrive fitted their WRC cars with diagonal gearboxes to pull the engine back as far as possible. At least Subaru went with an engine that's only two cylinders long in a longitudinal alignment, Audi has struggled with nose-heaviness for decades now, as you'd imagine with a few hundred kilo's of V8 clear of the front wheels!
Escort Cosworth and Skyline GTR (new and old) disagree with you sir. Both are longitudinal and while neither motor is behind the front axel (except the new GTR i believe) they sure are not infront of the axel either.
But then you are carrying extra weight for absolutely no reason.best AWD is one that you can disengage with a button or a lever and enjoy of full RWD hoonage.
umm.. it is there until it's needed, thus, it's not unnecessary weight at all. I rather switch it off to save some fuel and gain some steering feedback than leave it on when it's not needed..
Not the best perhaps but the coolest I know of. ...
The first automobile to come equipped with anti-lock brakes was the 1966 Jensen FF. It used the the Dunlop Maxaret anti-lock braking system, which was originally developed for aircrafts. By today?s standards, The anti-skid system of the Jensen FF may be considered crude and unreliable, it was a then astounding technological breakthrough. The Lincoln Continental Mark III improved on the original concept three years later in 1969. He placed the sensors on the rear wheels and successfully regulated the pressure on the rear brakes when they start locking up.
Produced by the British manufacturer Jensen between 1966 and 1971, The Jensen FF was an all-wheel drive GT car. The Jensen FF was a very influencial vehicle in technical aspects, but it failed to click with the masses and did not achieve commercial success. FF stands for Ferguson Formula, Ferguson was the inventor of the all wheel drive system, which was the first on a production sports car.

I love Jensons. I particulary like the Healey as well. Not AWD, but fantastic nether the less.
Yep lots of Chrysler under pinnings, but look at that design, not out of place today! As I said not perhaps the best, but the one I want
