ahem
i know what 4WD is.
i know what AWD is.
i thought there weren't interchangable. For instance - why are Skylines refered to as 4WD's when i was led to belive they were AWD? |

the two are often used interchangably, IIRC 4x4=part time 4wd while AWD=full time all whell drive |

Doesn't 4wd have all wheels moving no matter what, and AWD can detect a wheel slipping and give more power to it. Kinda like 4wd with a brain. |

#5, i don't know that all AWDs are that way, i think thats only the fancy ones. as said before, to me 4WD is an on off system and AWD is all the time no choice. |

IIRC most(if not all) all wheel drive systems are either Rear or front wheel biased, why those wheels start to spin power is sent to the other wheels |

There is no Focus 4x4, unless you are talking about a WRC rally car. The Focus ST170 (SVT over here) and turbocharged RS are both front wheel drive. Also, that font doesnt quite match. |

#8, there isn't a V8 focus either but that doesn't mean they don't exist :) |

#1, GTRs arent 4wd or awd. They are an altessa system, as in, tricky computers to controll the front wheels drive. AWD is just a fancy name. Think what the 4x4 stands for... 4 wheels, 4 wheels with drive. |

Ford England uses 4x4 interchangeably with AWD. There was a Sierra (our XR4Ti) sold over there called the XR4x4 that was pretty bad ass. |
